ATLANTA — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified the results of the 2024 presidential election today following county certification and two post-election audits.
Earlier this week, county election offices across the state completed a hand count of over 700,000 ballots, performing a Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA) with a 95% risk limit. Additionally, the Georgia Secretary of State’s office completed an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) audit of every ballot cast in this election.
The audits consistently matched the machine tally, confirming that the results were reported accurately and accurately reflected the presidential race’s outcome in Georgia. The Secretary of State’s office has worked closely with local election officials to ensure the process was thorough and accessible to observers and the public.
“This was the most secure election in Georgia’s history,” Raffensperger said.
