Press Release

More than a thousand Georgians have died of COVID since November 3rd. But rather than focusing on the crisis, our state Senate spent today rehashing the November election.

Georgia’s voters have made their decision. It’s time to honor that decision. It’s also time to ensure that our county elections officials have the resources they need to fulfill their responsibilities in the next two elections. 

We urge Secretary Raffensperger’s office to find a way to provide the additional resources that are critically needed by county elections offices.

A record number of Georgia’s voters participated in this election, despite COVID 19. Just as in previous elections, the decisions of ‘The People’ must be respected and accepted. We need to move forward and ensure that the runoffs on December 1 and January 5 go as smoothly as possible. 

More than 4 million Georgians voted in Tuesday’s election. Those voters deserve to have their voices heard and their ballots counted.

Polling place hours have been extended in polling locations in six counties across Georgia. Media outlets and reporters are strongly encouraged to immediately share the following information in their news stories, broadcasts, and social media channels.
