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

A message was sent to you regarding record request #24-3426:
Good morning,
Our office has received your Open Records Act Request and we are requesting further clarification.
We have uploaded documents from a mass challenge received in Dec 2020. This includes the minutes where you can see the challenges were not sustained.
There have been no other challenges brought from citizens, the public, or any other external sources since that time.
There are internal challenges from the Board which are a part of normal list maintenance based on such things as felony convictions, registering at non-residential addresses, etc. That is quite an extensive list but is the routine process of maintaining voter rolls. Were you also looking for that list or just those challenges brought to the Board from outside sources?
You should receive a link for the Dec 2020 information shortly.
Thank you,
The Glynn County Board of Elections and Registration
