Georgia Elections Conducted in House

For the first time in over a decade, Georgia has decided to move all of its election work in house. The decision comes after a long series of attacks on the election center at Kennesaw State University for security lapses. Those security lapses exposed more than 6.5 million voter records and other sensitive information. The transition between departments is expected to take up to one year. This will allow the state to build its own election team and headquarters. Plus, state officials want to limit any disruption to the elections that will come in November. The Kennesaw State University election center has helped run Georgia elections for the past fifteen years. However, doubts were raised when private cybersecurity researcher Logan Lamb uncovered its security lapses. State officials claim there is no evidence that the state’s system has been compromised. They also state that Georgia experienced no major issues during the presidential election or during the 6th District special election.
