Transcripts For CSPAN2 Campaign 2020 Georgia Gov. Kemp On Election Results Certification 20240711

Good afternoon. Covid19 introduced numerous challenges from county and state Election Officials as they work to keep Georgia Election secure, given the number of absentee ballots, narrow margin in the election for georgia, i urge a thorough investigation in voting irregularities. The secretary of state oversaw a complete audit, 2 including floyd, fayette, douglas and walton. It is important to note the election workers did their job well under unprecedented circumstances. I think them for their service. It is hard to be leave, thousands of uncounted ballots weeks after a razor thin outcome in a president ial election. This is simply unacceptable. I have heard directly from countless georgians they expect better and deserve better. It is important to know this audit only looked at ballots, not signatures on the absentee applications or the signatures on the ballot envelopes. The georgians i heard from are concerned about this. I encourage secretary roethlisberger to its consider these concerns. It seems simple enough to conduct a sample a lot of signatures and compare them to the signatures on applications and on file at the secretary of states office. This morning the secretary announced his support on photo id requirements, voters casting ballots in person must sell a photo id and we should consider applying the same standard to mail in ballots. I heard from members of the General Assembly and appreciate input and share their concern. I look forward to working with Lieutenant Governor duncan, members of both bodies to address issues that had been raised over the last several weeks. Earlier today, secretary roethlisberger presented certified results of the 2020 general election to my office. Following judge grams bergs ruling yesterday state law now requires the Governors Office to formalize the certification which paves the way for the Trump Campaign for a separate recount if they choose. Georgia has Runoff Elections for senate seats in a Public Service commission is scheduled to occur over the next several weeks. We demand complete explanations for all discrepancies identified so our citizens have complete confidence in our elections. In the Runoff Election we cannot have lost memory cards. Or stacks of uncounted ballots. We must have transparency in all monitoring and counting. Every legal vote must be counted and the security of the ballot box must be protected. As governor i have a solemn responsibility to follow the law and that is what i will continue to do. We must all Work Together to ensure citizens have confidence in future elections in our state.
