UPDATE: Georgia State Senator Greg Dolezal has filed an emergency lawsuit to allow poll watchers and State Election Board observers into “the bunker,” where Georgia’s statewide vote totals are received and published.
“Denying members of the State Election Board access to the Election Night Reporting Room is outrageous,” Georgia Republican Party Chairman Josh McKoon said, reacting to news of how the election results of this week’s primary election will be aggregated.
“BREAKING: Georgia’s 2026 election results will be aggregated on Election Night by the secretary of state from a ‘secret emergency bunker’ which is off-limits to candidates, the public and even to the State Election Board, which has requested access,” RealClearInvestigations Senior Reporter Paul Sperry reported Monday.
State law specifically prohibits such secrecy, Sperry notes, citing O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406, which requires that “conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.”
“Republican and Democrat SEC (State Election Board) members alike must have full access to observe every step of the tabulation and reporting process on Election Day and throughout election night,” Chairman McKoon wrote in a statement demanding that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reverse the decision to ban oversight of the vote aggregation.
“If there’s nothing to hide — you hide nothing,” a sitting member of the State Election Board and Georgia GOP First Vice Chair Salleigh Grubbs wrote in a X.com post urging Georgians to contact the secretary of state’s office and demand observer access.
Adding to the controversy, Secretary Raffensperger is overseeing a primary election that he is a candidate in, since he is campaigning to be the state’s next governor.
The room where the votes will be aggregated is known as “the bunker” because of its underground, undisclosed location, The Federalist explains:
“The secretary of state’s secure, centralized Election Night Reporting Room — known in Georgia election circles as ‘the Bunker’ — is an underground facility on the east side of Atlanta where votes from Georgia’s 159 counties are aggregated in real time and statewide results are prepared for public release. On election nights, a small team of SOS (Secretary of State) staff monitors the process in a conference-room-style setting as final numbers roll in.”
Additionally, video evidence belies claims by Raffensperger’s office that public oversight is not allowed in the bunker, The Federalist reports:
“While the secretary of state’s office maintains that the facility is not a site for public oversight, video from the April 15, 2026, SEB meeting reveals that officials have granted selective access to it. The recording shows Chairman John Fervier stating, on the record, that he has previously been invited into the Bunker by the secretary of state’s office and that he accepted the invitation. The rest of the board was not invited.”

This is not legal and someone needs to get an injunction to stop this.
Even worse, Raffensburger is on the ballot running for GA Governor.
Is “The Cone of Silence” in that basement?
The higher tech version of the old cardboard over the windows trick
So the GOP should callfor Federal Marshalls to seize the ballots and count them in the open in public.
If the Democrats get away with it, it’s no one, but the Republicans fault for letting it happen
>>If the Democrats get away with it, it’s no one, but the Republicans fault for letting it happen
Raffensperger, the SOS running the election, is nominally a pubbie. He’s running for governor and is the one countingbtge votes. He’ll magically win the primary for governor and certify that the election was the cleanest ever with absolutely no fraud. Kemp will do nothing.
Burn the place down.
Yeah that’s not weird at all, right? What I’m amazed at is they actually said this out loud… Burn them
The Battle of Athens Tennessee 1946 comes to mind. The corrupt sheriff grabbed the ballots and US military veterans took action.
Ratsenberger got away with so much fraud already that he doesn’t care. What are you going to do, tell him he is stealing an election? He doesn’t care. It’s not the votes that count it’s who counts them. They will secretly proceed.
Knock the fecking door down ya fecking retards
He’s a democrat pretending to be a republican
All the more reason for the GOP to call for federal marshals to seize the ballots and do a public out in the open, broad daylight count for everyone to see.
Ahhh. The Katie Hobbs model.
a' la...the Battle of Athens, Tennessee.
This looks like a repeat of what happened in Arizona, where then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs won the gubernatorial race in that state in 2022. The political class in this country never is bound to the arm’s length transaction requirements lesser citizens are required to obey.
What’s the emergency? Bad guys losing?
Raffensperger is running for Governor.
He will finish no higher than 3rd tomorrow and will fail to male the runoff.
No amount of fraud is going to save him.
GUTSY, AREN’T THEY
I pray that you are right. He is the scum of the earth.
I am sure they have the water pipes already rigged in case of exposure.
