Election Integrity
As Chairman of the House Committee on Science & Technology, Ed took a statewide leadership role in holding legislative hearings on securing Georgia’s election system. Through a rigorous 10-week committee process, Ed led a bipartisan effort to analyze new voting systems that leveraged cutting edge technology while giving Georgians the confidence of a physical paper ballot.
“It is essential that we provide each voter with a ballot that is secure and verifiable.” – State Rep. Ed Setzler
Ed sponsored a bipartisan bill that laid the groundwork for requiring a paper-verifiable statewide election system.
Ed conducted town hall meetings with both citizens and experienced election workers to identify legitimate gaps that needed to be fixed within our election system. With a deep level of personal engagement, Ed helped pass SB-202, an election integrity law that has been rated by non-partisan groups as giving Georgia the most secure and fair election system in the nation.
