Voter Challenger’s Software Funded by Trump Supporters

On Thursday June 28, the audience was privy to a surprising spectacle of election denialism at the Special Called Meeting of the Forsyth Board of Voter Registrations and Elections (BRE).
The meeting date and time was set to accommodate the schedule of one of Forsyth County’s most prolific voter challengers, Stefan Bartelski, as he brought 742 voter challenges. 

Of those, 197 were already canceled, 531 are on schedule to be removed and only 14 remained–all a result of the state’s routine roll maintenance. The Board reviewed another 45 challenges after conducting a line-by-line review.

Mr. Bartelski promotes the use of Eagle AI (variously pronounced as “AI” or “Eye”). He brought with him Eagle AI creator Rick Richards, who insists his methods are superior to existing national and state systems created by elections professionals. Also present was Jason Frazier, known to be one of the chief challengers in Fulton County, as well as Senator Greg Dolezal (R–SD27). 
Others in attendance were representatives from the ACLU, who were quoted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, as was Democratic Board of Registration and Election representative Anita Tucker. 
As mentioned in the May 30th edition of the Kicker, this represents an on-going effort by MAGA elements of the GOP to call into question the election and to disenfranchise voters who typically vote Democratic. The Associated Press filmed the meeting and published an excellent article summarizing the challenge effort and highlighting that the software is “funded and used by supporters of Trump… and entwined with the Republican’s campaign.”
