Statement from GAGOP
Desk of Chairman Josh McKoon
In the wake of the bombshell election system report, by Dr. J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan, which “discovered vulnerabilities in nearly every part of the system,” the Georgia Republican Party renews its call to support voter confidence for all Georgians in our elections.
“Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are rightly dismayed that no attempt is being made to address the vulnerabilities identified by the report before the 2024 Presidential Election,” says GA GOP Chairman Josh McKoon. “Given the breach of confidence in recent election cycles, plagued with irregularities, now more than ever Georgians deserve to know their votes are secure.”
The accuracy and fairness of our electoral process should be the foremost priority for our Election Officials. “Delaying the security patches until 2025 is worse than doing nothing,” warned Prof. Halderman, “since it puts would-be adversaries on notice that the state will conduct the presidential election with this particular version of software with known vulnerabilities, giving them nearly 18 months to prepare and deploy attacks.”
At a minimum, the Georgia Republican Party urges Secretary Raffensperger to comply with U.S. Department of Defense standards immediately, as referenced in the report.
“At a minimum, the Georgia Republican Party urges Secretary Raffensperger to comply with U.S. Department of Defense standards immediately, as referenced in the report.”
No good. The Georgia Republican Party should have sent this letter with triple exclamation points. Like this:
