Capitol Hill Investigators, Ga. Officials in Talks to Hand Over Election Docs

Public Policy & Regulation Partner Christopher DeLacy was quoted in an article by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution which addresses the congressional investigation into alleged voting fraud during Georgia's 2018 election cycle. The reported irregularities include Georgians experiencing challenges registering to vote and barriers to casting their votes. The House Oversight Committee is conducting the investigation and awaits election documents from Georgia government officials.
