ATLANTA (AP) — Two Republicans on Georgia’s state election board Thursday criticized a proposal by their own party to address a flaw in Georgia’s voting equipment that can allow voters to be matched to their ballots after they have been cast. The software vulnerability does not allow votes to be changed or cast doubt on election results, but it could let someone see how others voted. That’s important because ballot secrecy is a fundamental right under the state constitution and violations could create an opening for legal challenges. A lack of ballot secrecy also can increase the danger of coercion to vote a certain way by family members or employers. Sudhin Thanawala, The Associated Press.

Know Before You Vote
New voter education series from Cuyahoga County, Ohio board of elections
By M. Mindy Moretti
Following up on their successful and award winning Election Integrity Campaign leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the Cuyahoga County, Ohio Board of Elections recently launched the “Know Before You Vote” voter education campaign.
While the 2024 Election Integrity Series focused primarily on what happens behind the scenes to protect the election process and explain the security measures used by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (and Ohio elections broadly), the new “Know Before You Vote” series takes a broader, more voter-focused approach.
“Know Before You Vote is designed to walk voters through the entire voting process, from eligibility and registration to the different ways to vote, making an election plan, understanding your ballot, and knowing where to find trusted election information,” explained Peter James, election and compliance administrator for the Cuyahoga County BOE. “We also wanted to make the information easy to access and useful for people at different stages of their voting experience.”
