FULTON COUNTY, GA – On Saturday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Fulton County election officials are going to rescan ballots that were scanned on Friday. The county is where one election worker’s actions caused a viral video sensation. That worker appeared to have been throwing out ballots, but election officials say that was not the case. On Saturday, Raffensperger said a recount at that facility will be conducted, but did not say why.
