Georgia election audit finds close match in hand and machine counts

ATLANTA — An election audit completed Friday showed similar results between a hand count and machine tally of ballots in the secretary of state’s race, a result that Georgia election officials said confirmed the outcome.

Across the state, the audit counted 21 more votes for Raffensperger and 18 fewer for Nguyen.
