The state’s election system is secure, according to a letter from Georgia’s secretary of State to members of the General Assembly.
Georgia has 2,700 voting precincts and 35,000 pieces of voting equipment.
Georgia’s State Election Board won’t take over running elections in the state’s most populous county, ending an investigation that had sparked fears of partisan meddling. The board voted unanimously on Tuesday to end its performance review of Fulton County nearly two years after it began. Multiple board members said that they want the county to continue to work on improvements before the 2024 election and not to backslide on work already done. Fulton County officials noted that the review panel found no violations of state law or rules across nine elections that it monitored. Fulton County includes most of the city of Atlanta and is home to about 11% of the state’s electorate.
A Democratic stronghold, it has long been targeted by Republicans, and Democrats said they feared the 2021 law would be used by Republicans to tamper with how elections were run in Democratic-controlled counties across the state.
