House of Representatives
House of Representatives JON BURNS MAJORITY LEADER ROOM 338, STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30334 December 4, 2020 SENT VIA EMAIL: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Chairperson of the State Election Board Mrs. Rebecca N. Sullivan Vice-Chairperson of the State Election Board Dear Secretary Raffensperger and Mrs. Sullivan, As I am sure you have seen over the past month, many Georgians, including my colleagues who have signed this correspondence, have serious concerns about Georgia’s elections. As we approach a critical election on January 5, 2021, it is clear that Georgia voters must have confidence in the election process going forward. To that end, below you will find two common-sense suggestions: a rule that should be promulgated by the State Election Board (the “SEB”) and additional resources of which the Office of the Secretary of State (the “SOS”) or the SEB could take advantage. I. Absentee Ballot Application and Mail-In Absentee Ballot Signature Review Process. As the process currently stands, when a voter wishes to vote early by mail, they submit an Absentee Ballot Application (“Application”) either through the mail or online. When a local Board of Registrars (the “BOR”) receives a paper Application, typically, a single employee of the BOR is responsible for the initial review of a signature on a paper Application. If that paper Application is accepted, the BOR mails an Absentee Ballot to the voter. The process for reviewing signatures on the external envelope of a returned Absentee Ballot is the same – a single employee of the BOR is allowed to “approve” a signature without oversight by other employees or independent observers. -

ILLITERATE: THE INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND OR PRODUCE WRITTEN INFORMATION. If a child is not reading proficiently by the 4th grade, they have a 78% chance of not catching up. 90% of welfare recipients are either school dropouts or illiterate. 85% of juveniles who interface with the court system are functionally illiterate. 82% of students eligible for free or reduced lunches cannot read proficiently. -

Final Legislative Update
ACCG 2021 Legislative Update page 1 Final Legislative Update Volume # 12, Issue 13– May 12, 2021 2021 Session of the General Assembly Georgia lawmakers adjourned the 2021 legislative session on Wednesday, March 31. There were multiple victories for Georgia's counties as legislation addressing several ACCG Policy Agenda items such as broadband funding, the dedication of trust funds, lodging facilitator tax collection, and more passed. ACCG appreciates Governor Kemp and the General Assembly for including in the Amended FY 2021 budget $20 million for the state broadband grant program and $10 million in the FY 2022 budget. This report also contains a review of the final appropriations bills and lists items of interest to counties by state agency. For a complete overview, see Appendix B on page 22 for the 2021 Supplemental Budget and the 2022 Budget. Please review the summary of legislation below for more information on the 2021 General Assembly Session. ACCG thanks all commissioners, County Legislative Coordinators (CLC’s), and county staff who supported the Association's policy agenda this year by meeting with legislators and making personal contact through phone calls, texts and emails. A special thank you to this year’s Policy Council for their hard work and dedication. County officials serve as the critical component of the ACCG legislative network. Your involvement was instrumental in helping ACCG staff stop or modify several bills that would have been detrimental to Georgia’s local governments. A list of county-related bills that did not pass begins on page 11.
