Raffensperger Empanels Bipartisan Election Integrity Task Force

Planned regional roundtables after Labor Day aim to improve election operations, strengthening public confidence ahead of the November midterms.

Overview

  • This week Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced a nine‑member, bipartisan advisory task force to review Georgia election practices.
  • Members include former Gov. Roy Barnes, former Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin, former Sen. Saxby Chambliss and election lawyer Ben Ginsberg.
  • The group will examine voter‑list maintenance, county compliance, election administration best practices, transparency measures and election misinformation.
  • Task force activities will begin after Labor Day and will include regional roundtables and election‑worker trainings to coordinate with county officials.
  • The effort is advisory and presented as a factual response to confidence concerns even as federal probes of 2020 records in Fulton County and lingering residency irregularity claims remain active.
