Fulton County elections board re-certifies Senate results

A special meeting was held Tuesday.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — UPDATE: The meeting has concluded and the election results have been re-certified. You can re-watch the full meeting in the video player above.

Fulton Election Director Rick Barron described during the meeting an issue with uploading the results for two precincts, affecting roughly 660 votes in Milton.

The county believed all tabulated results had been uploaded, because their system showed ballot images were uploaded, but they discovered the tabulated results in fact had not gone through when they received a call from the state asking them to double check the two affected Milton precincts.

Barron said they are not sure why the tabulated results didn't upload with the ballot images, and that a county election official would be meeting today with Dominion Voting Systems to get more insight into what went wrong.

On Twitter, state election official Gabriel Sterling wrote: "For those wondering, Fulton didn't upload results from 2 precincts. The mistake was discovered and their elections board had to recertify results this morning. This is why we have reviews at the state level."

Sterling also posted the change in votes from the update:
