What is ELECTION INTEGRITY?
Election Integrity is the condition in which all elections are completely honest and fair, with fully verifiable and fully verified election results.
Honest and fair elections mean that all eligible candidates have the opportunity to become candidates, and all eligible voters have the opportunity to vote, exactly once, for the candidate of their choice, and no other votes are counted.
Fully verifiable and verified election results mean that the voters themselves are able to and actually do verify that the election results are honest and fair, and that any discrepancies are resolved before the results are certified.
This is Election Integrity in a nutshell.
Of course, like so many legislative challenges, the devil is in the detail. The important point to make regarding this is that in Georgia, as in most if not all other states, we do not yet have the proper legislation to secure election integrity.
As State Representative for House District 49, Michael Gordon will support (and sponsor) the legislation needed to ensure election integrity; and with enough like-minded legislators in the Georgia General Assembly, we will have such legislation passed into law!
