A representative from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office visited the Floyd County Board of Elections on Tuesday after over 2,500 uncounted ballots were discovered during the recount ordered by the Secretary of State.

Reports that the problem was caused by a memory card that was not removed from a machine are disputed. Local elections officials said a replacement scanner used at the Floyd County Administration Building for early voting apparently did not tabulate some of the ballots, according to a report from The Rome News-Tribune.

While most Georgia county’s, including Chattooga County, reported no major problems with the vote tabulation from the General Election, Floyd County is a notable exception.

The Floyd County Commission Chairman, Scotty Hancock, said that they will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable.
