GA Candidate Declared Winner – Then Officials Found More Votes

  • This story won’t do anything to increase faith in elections. Madelyn Orochena, a candidate in the Kennesaw (Ga.) City Council special election, was informed that she had won and announced her victory on social media.
  • Then election officials found a memory card that contained 789 uncounted votes.
  • Those votes flipped the election to Orochena’s opponent, Lynette Burnette.
  • Orochena plans to file a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office.
  • “Just trying to gain more information, what is within my rights, so we can be confident whoever wins, wins fairly,” Orochena said.
