State Election Board Chairman Bill Duffey has resigned from the panel responsible for investigating election fraud allegations and setting voting rules.

Under Duffey’s leadership, the State Election Board handled many allegations of fraud during the 2020 presidential election. The board is made up of four Republicans, including Duffey, and one Democrat. Duffey led several investigations into the 2020 presidential election.

Duffey was appointed by Governor Kemp after the legislature voted to remove the Secretary of State from the chairmanship position.
