佐治亚州塞米诺尔县漏传存储卡 翻转州众议院第154选区结果
佐治亚州西南部塞米诺尔县11月6日发现一张未上传的投票机存储卡，翻转了州众议院第154选区的非官方结果，州务卿已就此展开调查。
州务卿办公室在例行选后核查中发现，塞米诺尔县选举日当天登记到场投票的选民人数，比已上报的选票数多出约388人；通知县选务委员会后，县里查明一张存有选举日投票结果的存储卡从未上传进县选举管理系统。补录这张存储卡后，民主党挑战者哈里·詹姆斯原本领先共和党现任议员杰拉尔德·格林58票的局面被逆转，格林反超262票，该选区共投出20,125票。
州务卿布拉德·拉芬斯珀格11月6日宣布启动调查，核查存储卡为何被遗漏、规定的选举程序是否得到执行，以及需要采取哪些纠正措施防止重演。格林若保住领先优势，民主党在180席的州众议院将占92席，仅比组织议会所需的91席多一席；民主党在11月3日大选中刚刚赢得州众议院的微弱多数，为2005年以来首次。

Missed Memory Card in Seminole County Flips Georgia House District 154 Result
A memory card that was never uploaded has flipped the unofficial result in Georgia's House District 154, and the Secretary of State has opened an investigation, officials in Seminole County in southwest Georgia confirmed on November 6.
During a routine post-election audit, the Secretary of State's office found that about 388 more voters had checked in to vote in person on Election Day in Seminole County than ballots had been reported. After the county election board was notified, officials determined that a memory card containing Election Day results had never been uploaded into the county's election management system. Once the card was added, Democratic challenger Harry James's 58-vote lead over Republican incumbent Gerald Greene was overturned, and Greene moved ahead by 262 votes in a district where 20,125 ballots were cast.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the investigation on November 6 to determine why the card was missed, whether required election procedures were followed and what corrective steps are needed. If Greene's lead holds, Democrats will hold 92 of the 180 seats in the state House, just one more than the 91 needed to organize the chamber; Democrats won a narrow House majority in the November 3 election for the first time since 2005.
