'They Know What They're Speaking of': Georgia's New Task Force Will Tackle Election Integrity

The panel will examine ballot acceptance rules, voter ID proposals and shrinking federal support as states face tighter election security resources.

  • Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the formation of a bipartisan Election Integrity Task Force on August 12, bringing together leaders to help ensure state elections remain "fair and secure."
  • This announcement follows an audit last month of the June 16 Georgia runoff, where Raffensperger found errors originated "exclusively from hand-marked ballots," prompting exploration of ballot methods for 2028.
  • Members include Representative Drew Ferguson and Former Governor Roy Barnes, who will examine voter list maintenance, transparency initiatives, and strategies to address election misinformation across the state.
  • President Donald Trump continues to claim his 2020 election loss in Georgia stemmed from voter fraud, frequently calling for a return to hand-marked ballots to secure the process.
  • The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency faces funding challenges this year, dropping from $825 million in 2020 grants to $45 million, impacting regional support for state election officials.
