Government Reform

I will pursue alternative voting technologies that do not share the same vulnerabilities, and are readily available for public inspection, while requiring paper ballots. This approach will improve efficiency and provide complete audit capabilities (not risk limiting audits), helping to restore public confidence in our elections. Learn more

Additionally, I will withdraw Georgia from the costly Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) system which is essential for cleaning our voter rolls. Funding this third-party service which sources beyond our oversight while serving less than half the states is expensive, poses privacy concerns, and is ineffective…a waste of our tax dollars.

Requiring voters to update their registration on short notice during an election year undermines trust in our electoral process and raises concerns about whether their votes will count. Before sending demand letters, I will ensure voters ability to verify their registration status online or by contacting the Secretary of State’s office year-round, giving them ample time to address any issues.

I will utilize presently established emergency procedures to conduct the 2028 elections utilizing hand-marked paper ballots and election certification occurring only after hand counting. Learn more
