Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has selected his own reelection race to be examined in the state's biyearly election risk-limiting audit.
State law in Georgia requires the secretary of state's office to select an election to be audited every even-year general election, with Raffensperger choosing his race in the interest of transparency. His selection comes only two days after he won reelection for Georgia secretary of state against Democratic state Rep. Bee Nguyen on Tuesday, according to WXIA.
"I believe in transparency and accountability to voters, and that's why I've chosen this race," said Raffensperger.The state conducts the audit by sampling random batches of ballots in an election, counting them by hand, and checking to see whether the results mostly align with the election results from ballot machines used in the election.
