Georgia State Board of Elections stood up to left-wing pressure groups and voted to ensure vote-tallies reconcile before certification. Georgia’s citizens deserve accurate election results.
Election Integrity Network commends Georgia’s State Board of Elections for its 3-2 vote today to standardize statewide procedures that ensure one person-one vote on tallies and guards against certification of inaccurate or erroneous results.
The rule will ensure that all counties comply with existing requirements in GA Code § 21-2-493(b), which mandates reconciliation of number of voters to number of ballots to number of votes prior to certification of election results.
Cleta Mitchell, founder of Election Integrity Network, said the rule will ensure that election officials catch errors in the tallies so Georgia doesn’t have a repeat of more than 3,000 duplicate ballots that were scanned, counted, and certified in Fulton County in the 2020 election recount — or to learn after the fact that more than 17,000 votes included in the tally have no ballot images that correlate to the number of votes certified.
“The rule is built on basic, kindergarten math,” Mitchell said. “Count the number of voters, confirm that the number of voters match the number of ballots.Those numbers should match and should be the same as the number of votes tabulated. The duty for election officials to certify CORRECT results is required under the statute. The rule just makes sure it happens in every county.”
“If election officials want the American people to become election BELIEVERS again, these are the important procedures that must be made part of the election process in Georgia and every other state,” Mitchell concluded.
Kerri (Houston) Toloczko, executive director of Election Integrity Network, added in a statement:
“We commend the board for the new Tabulation rule that implements the statutory reconciliation process. This rule will ensure the board and counties are all following the same procedures to instill confidence in the accuracy of the election. It is a basic common-sense process.”
