Harry James
Role at the time: Democratic nominee for Georgia House District 154, in a phone interview with WTXL ABC 27
Response to this claim
The Seminole County Board of Elections did not upload a memory card containing Election Day results into the county's election management system, leaving about 388 ballots out of the county's reported count until the Secretary of State's office flagged the gap.
“It's not Harry James that loses. It's the citizens ... when our democracy doesn't work the way it's supposed to”
Why we used this label
The reference point is Seminole County's handling of its November 3, 2026 Election Day count, which left about 388 ballots out of the reported results until the Secretary of State's office flagged the gap on November 6. James, who led on election night, says citizens lose when the process does not work as it is supposed to and that the episode creates doubt, which criticizes how the count was handled.
