COLUMBUS, Ohio — For the first time in Ohio's history, ballot audit results have been posted online in an attempt to create transparency following the 2020 presidential election. 

“Early last year we set a clear mission — that Ohio voters would be confident their voice was heard in an honest election,” said Secretary of State Frank LaRose in a statement. “The incredible accuracy of the results as reflected in the post-election audits should make every Ohioan proud not only of their bipartisan election officials, but of the system we have in place. Ohio ran a fair and accurate election.”

For counties that utilized a percentage-based audit, the results show a 99.98% accuracy rate in the election. 

Officials perform a comprehensive review of the election results to ensure that the numbers reported by the board of elections are accurate. The state is required to audit the following:

• The presidential contest
• The contest for Justice of the Supreme Court 
• A countywide contest chosen by the board of elections

According to the data, less than 20 out of 88 counties reported an accuracy rate of below 100%, but none of the audit results for each county dipped below 99%. 

LaRose's office didn't clarify why some counties didn't hit 100%.

The results come as a group of Republicans prepare to question electoral votes Wednesday when Congress meets to certify election results. 

Sen. Rob Portman and Gov. Mike DeWine both said that they don't support the effort, saying attempting to overthrow the election is a violation of the Constitution. Portman also said voters hold the power, and not Congress. 

"The Constitution created a system for electing the President through the Electoral College that ensures the people and the states hold the power, not Congress. I cannot support allowing Congress to thwart the will of the voters," Portman wrote in a statement Monday. 

President Donald Trump has claimed that there have been "fraudulent ballots" that skewed election results. Election experts reported there is no evidence to back his claims. Although voter fraud can happen, multiple studies show it's rare and voting systems have safeguards to prevent it. If fraud happens, people are normally caught and will be prosecuted. 

In an interview with CNN earlier this week, DeWine agreed that the election shouldn't be overturned. However, he does believe that there's a reason why many Americans are questioning election security. 

"Are there some problems in the system as far as potential fraud or fraud that occurred? Yeah, but we’ve not seen anything that rises to the level that would’ve changed the outcome of the election. I think Sen. Portman has a good proposal and that proposal is to get two very distinguished people in this country, Democrat and Republican, have a commission, and to take a hard look at voter security. We have a lot of people in this country who are very concerned about it."
