On the March 18th Election Integrity Update we were encouraged to hear how scores of fellow Georgians concerned with election integrity were elected to leadership positions and sent the establishment packing last weekend at many county GOP conventions. We heard reports of successes and challenges in Cherokee, Chatham, Forsyth, and Fulton Counties.  Garland Favorito gave an update on VoterGA’s legislative work at the State Capitol and where the election integrity bills now stand, and Bill Quinn reported on the status of the Mental Health Bill HB 520.  Use the link below to view the March 18th Election Integrity Update, which will be available through April 1st. Please share this vital information with friends and family.

On our January 21st call Ken Hand, the Georgia State Director of Only Citizens Vote (OCV), joined us to discuss the issue of securing the right to vote as an exclusive right to U.S. citizens. Since his retirement, Ken has become active in the election integrity movement to improve the accuracy and credibility of U.S. elections.  He informed us about efforts OCV is pursuing in Georgia to appeal to our legislature to amend our State Constitution and the obstacles they’ve faced in protecting this right. 

After several challenges to our legal efforts last year, election integrity advocates were blessed with a great Christmas present by the Georgia Supreme Court!  In the Fulton County counterfeit ballot case, the court ruled reversed the lower courts’ rulings that Garland Favorito and the other plaintiffs did not have standing to sue!

Garland recapped the legal fight and the providential timing of another court case that opened the door to victory.  He also provided a preview of VoterGA’s legislative priorities and opened the floor for discussion and constructive feedback from supporters.

On the December 3rd Election Integrity update Garland Favorito recapped VoterGA’s analysis and observations of the U.S. Senate Primary and General Election races.  He also previewed the Monday, December 5th hearing for the Fulton School Board District 7 Election Challenge. 

On the November 19th Election Integrity Update Garland Favorito announced VoterGA’s new litigation to indefinitely preserve 2020 General Election ballots in targeted counties until all relevant litigation has been resolved.  This is VoterGA’s sixth election integrity legal case, and all six are still active.  Garland also announced that the next hearing is the fifth case, which challenges the Fulton County School Board District 7 election.  In this race withdrawn candidate Linda Arnold received 3,317 votes without her name ever being printed on any ballot!

Sarah Thompson from Bulloch County reported on activities of The Carter Center as well as concerns of a number of Georgia Congressmen regarding events  which appeared to promote Chinese Communist Party propaganda.  Sarah, Ted Metz, and Paul Nally detailed their Liberty Jam activities.

On the previous Election Integrity Update Garland Favorito discussed a recent Georgia Supreme Court ruling whereby Georgia citizens, including voters, have standing to sue government officials who violate Georgia law.  He then explained how this precedent is favorable to VoterGA’s Ballot Access lawsuit.

Next, Angie Durham and Sam Carnline reviewed their legal efforts to preserve the 2020 general election ballots in their respective counties and described how their efforts inspired an additional two dozen Georgians to do the same.  Email Angie if you’re interested in helping in your county.

On the October 15th Election Integrity Update several regulars and guests enlightened us and motivated us to action!  Garland Favorito reported on his Fulton County School Board election challenge and answered the question, “Are we headed for a win?”  (Join us this Saturday for good news!)  Bill Quinn addressed DeKalb County’s decision to use Konnech systems, and subsequent outcomes that concern DeKalb County citizens.

Tamara Favorito reviewed important areas to which poll watchers should be attentive while on duty.  Tania Sosa reported on the Constitution Party of Georgia’s advance voting poll watchers, and encouraged folks interested in Election Day poll watching or submitting photos of precinct elections results (“poll tapes”) to call (912) 509-0945 or email her today.  Angie Allison and Tim Meisburger from The America Project presented their Citizen Election Observer and Georgia Election Integrity Manual resources.
