An investigation by Georgia’s state elections board found vote counters in Fulton County made mistakes during an audit of the 2020 presidential election.

Mark Niesse is a reporter covering election issues for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He spoke with WABE’s Christopher Alston about what was revealed by the investigation.

He said the investigation attributed the mistakes to “human error,” including ballots that were double-counted and counted for the wrong candidates.
