Were 174 batches of ballots missing in the Fulton County, Georgia, vote count?

A post with a video clip makes the claim but provides no sourcing or evidence.

A spokeswoman for Fulton County, meanwhile, told Lead Stories no ballots were missing.

The claim is similar to claims made during a May 2021 hearing in a lawsuit against Fulton County. A forensic accountant testifying for the plaintiffs said there was a difference in the number of batches of ballots reported in the original vote count and the number reported in a "risk-limiting audit" and hand recount.

But there is no requirement that batches in vote counts match in number. Grouping ballots into batches is just a way for poll workers to organize. There's no rule it has to be done the same way each time.

Results of the audit confirmed original results of the election -- Joe Biden won with 74% in heavily Democratic Fulton County.
