Today, True the Vote assisted concerned Georgia voters in taking a stand for the sanctity of every legal vote. We partnered with voters representing all 159 Georgia counties to submit 364,541 Elector Challenges in a citizen-led effort to challenge potentially ineligible voters and reinforce election integrity in the upcoming Senate runoff elections.

An Elector Challenge is a unique feature in Georgia law, which allows a voter to challenge the eligibility of any other voters in his or her county if probable cause exists to show that the challenged voter does not meet the qualifications legally required to cast a ballot. It represents one of the few vehicles that states have to update voter rolls ahead of an election without compromising any legitimate voters’ right to have their vote counted. This landmark coordinated challenge is the result of True the Vote’s voter registry research, which identified 124,114 registered voters who no longer reside in the county of record and 240,427 voters who no longer reside in the state of Georgia, according to filings with the United States Postal Service National Change of Address (NCOA) and other supporting commercial databases.

This historic challenge marks the beginning of the great awakening of American voters to serve our democracy and restore faith in our elections by getting involved in the process.

This is the power of citizen engagement and the core of what True the Vote exists to do in our pursuit of free, fair, and secure elections.
