During a recent government meeting in Cherokee County, residents voiced significant concerns regarding the integrity of local elections, particularly focusing on the use of Dominion voting machines. One speaker expressed alarm over the fact that the motherboards of these machines are manufactured in China, questioning why voting technology is not produced domestically. The speaker emphasized the importance of ensuring fair elections and called for the removal of Dominion machines from both Cherokee County and the state of Georgia.

Another resident, Lisa Jacqua, addressed procedural issues during public speaking segments, highlighting the challenges faced by speakers in adhering to time limits. She expressed frustration over the perceived intimidation tactics employed by marshals when enforcing these limits, particularly during a previous meeting. Jacqua acknowledged the difficulty of public speaking and urged for a more respectful approach to managing time during discussions.

The meeting underscored a growing unease among community members regarding election security and the conduct of public meetings, reflecting broader national conversations about voting integrity and civic engagement. As residents continue to advocate for transparency and respect in local governance, the discussions from this meeting may influence future policies and practices in Cherokee County.
