Fair Fight Statement on So-Called ‘Investigation’ into Missing DeKalb County Ballot Applications

  • March 21, 2019

ATLANTA – Today, Fair Fight CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo issued the following statement in response to the Secretary of State’s launching of an ‘investigation’ into missing DeKalb County absentee ballot applications from five months ago:

“Last fall, when absentee ballot applications from 4,700 DeKalb County voters went missing, the Secretary of State’s office could have helped those voters by getting the word out and providing additional resources to the county. Instead, the office – then led by Kemp – did nothing but privately cheer, after he infamously said that he was ‘concerned’ about high numbers of Black voters requesting ballots. Now, five months after the fact, that same office is pretending to care about DeKalb voters. The Secretary of State’s so-called investigation comes as Congress’s House Oversight Committee is requesting documents from his office. We smell a skunk.”
