The Hall County Board of Elections and Registration turned aside four challenges to local voters at a special called meeting Wednesday, Dec. 23 at the Hall County Government Center.
Three of the challenges called into question the addresses of 8,502 voters, while a fourth challenge questioned the validity of the registrations of 40 voters who signed up to vote in Georgia's U.S. Senate runoffs after the Nov. 3 election.
Hall County Elections Director Lori Wurtz presented the challenges to the board, identifying the citizens who brought the challenges as Ricky McQueen, Theresa Webb of True the Vote and Chris Fetterman. Each questioned the validity of voter addresses on the different lists they submitted to the board. Wurtz said neither McQueen nor Fetterman cited the sources for the lists they submitted, but Webb noted that her list of 5,514 names came from National Change of Address (NCOA). McQueen and Webb submitted their challenges on Dec. 18, while Fetterman submitted his challenge on Dec. 20.
