Seminole County, Georgia, reported 388 additional votes on November 7, 2026, after officials located a memory card containing unrecorded ballots from Election Day.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office issued a release stating that a post-election review found approximately 388 more voters checked in than the number of ballots initially reported as cast. The office identified the discrepancy and alerted the Seminole County Board of Elections to the missing data.

The discovery directly affects the outcome of the State House District 154 race. Democrat Harry James previously held a 58-vote lead over incumbent Republican Gerald Greene. With the addition of the newly found ballots, Greene now leads by 262 votes.

The county board has until Monday to certify the updated election results. Brad Raffensperger’s office launched an investigation to determine how the memory card was overlooked. The probe will also examine whether required election procedures were followed and identify corrective measures to prevent similar incidents in future cycles.

WCTV, the Atlanta News First sister station in Tallahassee, contacted the Seminole County Board of Elections on Friday afternoon for comment. No representative was available to speak at the time of the inquiry.
