ATLANTA — A hand count of ballots in the U.S. Senate runoff was almost identical to the original computer count in which Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican Herschel Walker, according to the results of an election audit.
The audit counted five fewer votes for Warnock and four more for Walker out of a randomized sample of nearly 165,000 ballots reviewed this week.
Overall, Warnock won the race by over 99,000 votes out of more than 3.5 million ballots cast, according to the full count of computer-scanned ballots.
