ATLANTA – State Representatives David Knight (R-Griffin) and Karen Mathiak (R-Griffin) will hold a press conference to address the Spalding County Board of Elections (BOE) and the Spalding County election supervisor’s handling of the Nov. 3 election TOMORROW, Thursday, December 17, 2020, at 10 a.m. at the South Wing Steps of the State Capitol.
At the press conference, Knight and Mathiak wish to highlight the mismanagement and unlawful events that they believe to have occurred leading up to Nov. 3, as well as on Election Day and thereafter.
The Spalding County Board of Elections recently held two meetings in which they had the opportunity to address inefficiencies that occurred during the Nov. 3 election, but Reps. Knight and Mathiak state that the issues were never addressed. Knight and Mathiak condemn the board’s failure to address and correct training inefficiencies and other violations, as well as the board’s recent vote of confidence for the Spalding County election supervisor, who Knight and Mathiak previously called on to resign or be terminated as a result of the handling of the Nov. 3 election. They also urge the removal of board members who voted in support of the elections supervisor.
