Public commenter promotes new federal election-integrity hotline and urges reporting of alleged irregularities
Summary
A resident encouraged Fulton County residents to report suspected election irregularities to a new hotline linked to a federal Voter Integrity Task Force and referenced a presidential executive order.
A public commenter, identified at the meeting as Maria Gaudio, told the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections on May 8 about a new federal hotline for reporting suspected election irregularities and urged listeners to report concerns to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"They are implementing the President's March 20 fifth, 20 25 Executive Order concerning elections," Gaudio said, asking listeners to call a hotline she identified as (888) 636-6595. She described the task force as a joint effort by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney's Office and said it would target issues involving voter rolls and alleged election crimes.
Gaudio listed types of conduct she said should be reported, including requests to alter reports, tampering with evidence, withholding voter lists and after-hours activities at election offices. She repeated the hotline number and said the U.S. Attorney's Office had taken over calls at that line.
No board action or staff response to the hotline announcement was recorded in the meeting minutes. Gaudio's remarks took place during the communications and public comments segment and were presented as public information and an appeal to members of the public to report alleged wrongdoing.
