To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) County data for all challenges to other voters’ registrations from November 3, 2020 to the time that the request is processed. Please make sure that the responsive documents include the name of the person who filed the voter challenge as well as the materials they submitted as part of their challenge claim.
2) Correspondence and details related to the processing and, if applicable, the outcome (approval, rejection, etc.) of the voter challenge claim.
3) If maintained: any documents, lists, or spreadsheets that illustrate or track how many voter registration challenges have been filed by specific individuals. (Ex. any document that would show that a John Doe filed 30 voter registration challenges, Jane Doe filed 20, etc.)
I would like these records in electronic format, sent via email or other digital method.
If there are any questions about my request, I am happy to hop on the phone (914-817-4482) in addition to corresponding via email.
If you determine that any of the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information. In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Eva Xiao
From: Athens-clarke County Board Of Elections

Hi Audra,
Thank you so much for helping with this request! I really appreciate it.
Just one quick question: Were there any documents about the Board of Election's decision regarding Rhoden's voter challenge? I see in the document "Redacted_Special_Meeting_Agenda_20201221_Rhoden_Redacted" that there is a reference to Rhoden's challenge, but no notes on the outcome.
Thanks again,
Eva
