The Risk Limiting Audit confirmed the outcome of the Supreme Court contest between John Barrow and Andrew Pinson.
Since last Thursday, all 159 Georgia counties participated in a statewide post-election audit of ballots cast in the May 21, 2024 General Primary and Nonpartisan General Election.
The audited contest was the Supreme Court contest between John Barrow and Andrew Pinson, the highest-ranking contested statewide contest on the ballot.
As part of the audit, every Georgia county was required to count randomly selected ballots totaling 360 batches from across the state, or 6.9% of ballots overall. The risk limiting audit was conducted with a 5% risk limit.
Below is a comparison of the vote totals of each candidate for the batches that were audited.
This small amount of difference is well within the expected margin of error for an audit of this size, and is attributed to human error during the hand counting process.
