On behalf of the Democratic Party of Fulton County, I am writing to state our opposition to the current candidate for Chairman of the Fulton Board of Registration and Elections (BRE), and to urge the Board of Commissioners to select a Chairperson who brings demonstrated experience working to protect voter access.

As you return to campus for the Fall, take a moment to answer one very important question: Do you have a VOTING PLAN for the November 8 election?
