After Weeks of Pressure Georgia Says it Will Conduct “Signature Match Review” of Absentee Ballots

Headlines Politics U.S.

Georgia will conduct a statewide “signature match review” of absentee ballots it was announced yesterday. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger made the decision after weeks of ignoring pleas to investigate legitimate claims of election fraud.

“We are confident that elections in Georgia are secure, reliable, and effective,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “Despite endless lawsuits and wild allegations from Washington, D.C. pundits, we have seen no actual evidence of widespread voter fraud, though we are investigating all credible reports. Nonetheless, we look forward to working with the University of Georgia on this signature match review to further instill confidence in Georgia’s voting systems.”

Earlier in the week it was announced Raffensperger’s office had approved a signature review of just one Georgia county, Cobb.
