Fulton County Seeks Rescan of 1,069 Early Ballots

What happened

Fulton County is seeking a rescan of 1,069 early ballots after two scanners failed. The county’s request concerns ballots that were processed through the affected scanning equipment.

The development involves the county’s election administration and a defined group of early ballots. It is not tied to a candidate or a specific race in the information publicly identified here.

What the request covers

The requested action is a rescan of all 1,069 early ballots identified in connection with the two scanner failures. A rescan would mean running those ballots through scanning equipment again as part of the election-counting process.

The failure of two scanners is the reason Fulton County is seeking the additional processing. The county has not described the result of any rescan in the information identified here.

What to watch

The next steps are whether the rescan request is approved, when the ballots are rescanned and whether Fulton County announces a result from that process. Any official update would clarify how the county handles the 1,069 ballots and whether the scanner failures changed the reported count.
