Like many of you, I am extremely concerned at how this election has been handled in other counties.

Georgia law requires the tabulation and canvass to be conducted in public. We had hundreds of lawyers, staff and volunteers deployed across the state investigate a all allegations about voter fraud. We also did 2 complete recounts, one of which was by hand, in which each and every ballot was verified for authenticity. The machine counts and hand counts ended with the same results.

It is clear to me that election reform must be a priority of the legislature when we return to the Capitol. Each fraudulent ballot disenfranchises and suppresses legal voters. Georgia is one of the first states to implement a photo ID requirement for voting. Prior to COVID, we attempted to get this photo ID provision added for mail-in ballots as well. I have spoken to Leadership about this and am confident we will close this loop-hole.

I have personally let the Secretary of State know about these allegations. He MUST get this right. Every legal vote must count, but only legal votes! If we get beat legally, then shame on us; but it is imperative that we keep the integrity of the American political system intact. Illegal votes must be discarded.

I have personally spoken to the Secretary and the Governor and the Speaker and the AG about your concerns. I encourage you to call the Secretary with any specific allegations you have at https://sos.ga.gov/cgi-bin/EMailStopVoterFraud.asp or call the Voter Fraud Hotline at 877-725-9797.

The Georgia House is also doing an investigation. We are also currently receiving public testimony via our committee email address: [email protected].

If you have any specific witnesses that you think the committee should hear from, please submit those names to

The SOS is conducting 250 investigations. This includes the debacle in Fulton County.

Mail-In absentee ballots are a less secure method of voting and of significant drain on county election resources. We told the SOS this last March BEFORE he took the disastrous step of sending out mail-out ballots to everyone.

Certain counties have experienced more problems than others. Most counties did their job well.

The March Consent Agreement established parameters for Georgia Law defining a ‘reasonable’ amount of time for which to notify voters of ballot rejection. Without our knowledge, it also allowed new ways to certify signatures which appears to disregard the law’s intention.

A Special Session is only possible with a three-fifths approval by the General Assembly or as called by the Governor. As the GOP does NOT have a 3/5 majority, it comes down to the Governor to call a Special Session. The House cannot do it by itself. I have told the Trump team that I am ready to go.

Georgia Constitution requires that the legislature select the Electoral College votes based on the results of the popular election. Changing this law now would require the Governor calling into a Special Session during an election. I have told the Trump team and Leadership that I am ready to go. But it must be noted that such action would most certainly be blocked by Federal Courts.

According to O.C.G.A § 21-2-571, it is a felony to knowingly vote or attempt to vote in an election where a person does not meet the requirements (such as residency requirements) punishable by up to ten years in jail and a $100,000 fine.

As to the signature question, last March the SOS - without our knowledge - agreed to a court settlement that if the 1st original ballot request signature matches the 2nd “on file” signature, then the 3rd signature on the envelope of the actual ballot can be checked against the 2nd signature instead of requiring to go back to the first. It was billed as a “if A =B, and B =C, then A =C” geometry conclusion.

However, it must be noted that the initial signature check is on the envelopes, not the ballots. There is no signature on the ballot itself. The SOS should have ensured these signature matches were correct, especially in Fulton County, before hand. The Governor has asked that the SOS audit the signatures on the envelopes against those on file. I and many of the Georgia legislators have agreed with the Governor’s conclusion.

This is what he said…

"It seems simple enough to conduct a sample audit of signatures on the absentee ballot envelopes and compare those to the signatures on applications and on file at the Secretary of State’s Office."

Kemp also pledged to work with the Georgia General Assembly to address a host of election related issues including strengthening Photo ID requirements for absentee ballots.

"I have heard from many members of the General Assembly, and I appreciate their input and share their concerns. I look forward to working with Lt. Governor Duncan, Speaker Ralston, and members of both bodies to address the issues that have been raised over the last few weeks."

"We demand complete explanations for all the discrepancies identified so that our citizens will have complete confidence in our elections. In the runoff election, we cannot have lost memory cards or stacks of uncounted ballots. We must have full transparency in all monitoring and counting. Every legal vote must be counted, and the security of the ballot box must be protected.”

The Speaker has also called for the SOS to do a signature audit of the absentee ballots. So far, the SOS has refused.

The eyes of the entire nation are on Georgia now as we conduct our two run-off elections for Senate. It is imperative that we stop Chuck Schumer from packing the Supreme Court, eliminating the filibuster, and calling DC and Puerto Rico states…giving the Left 4 new Senators which would make it nearly impossible for the GOP to ever control it again. Such actions would be catastrophic to our Constitutional Republic. You and I need to start working NOW to save America from their Far-Left Socialist Agenda.

As to this election for the Senators, we are already in the midst of printing ballots. If we were to go into a Special Session during this election, and change the rules of this election while it is going on, our actions would certainly be thrown out in court. “You can’t change the rules of the game while you’re playing the game” applies here. At this point it appears that any remedy must be adjudicated in federal court.

Congressman Doug Collins is leading the GOP effort on the Presidential election. I am ready and willing to go into a Special Session today.

Again, only the Governor can call a Special election.

I am aware of the alleged “ballot dump” that occurred in GA the night of the election. This IS being investigated.

I have seen the video of Fulton County after-hours ballot counting and I am outraged. Again, I am ready to go.

The House is demanding that the SOS ensure a fair election for the Runoff in January. This includes ensuring two person verification of every absentee ballot and declaring a state emergency to get state employees from other agencies to get eyes on every mail in ballot.

I know everyone is frustrated. We are following the law and will do what we can within the law. The most important thing we can do now is to turn out to elect the two GOP Senators.

If good people like you refuse to vote in this Runoff, then our nation in truly doomed. Not voting means giving the keys to the Democrats. Please exercise the rights that I fought 5 wars to defend
