Atlanta — On Monday, as the Georgia Secretary of State’s office launched a new website to allow Georgia voters who have permanently moved out of state to cancel their voter registrations, the office also leaked Georgia voters’ personal information, including voters’ date of birth, driver’s license number, and last four numbers of a Social Security number. That personal information is the same information needed to submit a request to cancel a voter registration through the new Secretary of State’s GA Voter Registration Cancellation Portal website. Lauren Groh-Wargo, Fair Fight CEO, released the following statement

“As MAGA ‘election integrity’ vigilantes are challenging thousands of Georgians’ freedom to vote across our state, the leak of Georgia voters’ private, personal information should be alarming to all who value free and fair elections. Considering how the leak came while a new voter cancellation portal was launched is gravely concerning. Everyone who wants to exercise their freedom to vote this November should check their voter registration status and help spread the word to their friends, family, and community to ensure no one’s freedom to vote has been challenged or canceled.”

Georgians can check their voter registration status, update details like their voter registration address, and find their polling location on the Secretary of State’s GA My Voter Page.

Context: The leak of Georgia voters’ private, personal information comes as MAGA ‘election integrity' vigilantes have mobilized to challenge thousands of Georgians’ freedom to vote across the state. Many of the challenges are directly linked to Fulton County prolific voter challenger Jason Frazier, who the Georgia Republican Assembly, a Republican Party-linked organization, has appointed as chairman of their new Election Integrity Action Group. Frazier has challenged over 10,000 Fulton County residents’ freedom to vote and was involved in the development of a software tool that MAGA ‘election integrity’ vigilantes are using to fuel their voter challenges. After an unsuccessful attempt to install Frazier on the Fulton County Board of Elections, the Fulton County Republican Party filed a lawsuit to overturn the decision, which was voluntarily dismissed.
