Walker. “We want you to know that we hear your voices and we do not take these claims lightly. When I took the oath of office, I vowed to serve all Georgians and to uphold the integrity of our governmental systems, in all capacities. With your statements in mind, we have had the opportunity to listen to the testimony of election officials throughout the state, analyzing and inquiring about our state’s voting system. In trying to unpack the current circumstances, I believe we are doing our due diligence to address any possible mishaps to ensure greater confidence in our system for future elections.”
