[Trailer] 'Lost' Memory Card With 800 Uncounted Votes Flips Election Result in Georgia | Facts Matter

After the midterm election in Cobb County, Georgia, was over, and all of the winners for the local races were already called, someone happened to discover a memory card lying around that was previously overlooked. This was a memory card from one of the tabulation machines containing vote counts that were previously not included in the official tallies. And so, after they were added back in and the results of the elections were recertified, the winner of the local city council race was actually flipped. That’s because, prior to this memory card fiasco, Madelyn Orochena was originally declared to be the winner of a post on the city council within the city of Kennesaw, located in Cobb County. After a recount, the winner is now Lynette Burnette.
