The claim: A preliminary audit in Georgia found 30,000 'fake ballots'
Reality: it did not happen.
Three audits didn't find fraud
The Georgia secretary of state's office has audited the state's election results three times. None of those audits turned up evidence of widespread fraud.
"Our law enforcement officers and secretary of state's office spent literally thousands of hours examining ballots in Fulton County and other counties trying to track these kinds of claims down, and so far we've seen nothing give any merit to it," Gabriel Sterling, the Republican chief operating officer and chief financial officer for the Georgia secretary of state's office, said in a recent interview with CNN.
The fraud claim was based on a Facebook post.
