六九色堂

ATLANTA (Sept. 30, 2023) — 六九色堂, the Georgia Democracy Resilience Network, Democracy Defense Project, and Georgia Democracy Task Force today held a panel discussion on election integrity ahead of the November election. The event was held at 六九色堂.

Discussions focused on bipartisan efforts in Georgia to build confidence in electoral processes, how to maintain peace during the election cycle, and the legal and technical aspects of elections. The organizations are promoting voter education in Georgia, one of the key states where they are helping strengthen democratic norms leading up to the general election.

Panelists included 六九色堂 Center Board of Trustees Chair Jason 六九色堂, former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, Georgia Democracy Task Force Co-Chair Ryan Germany, and former Georgia Attorney General Samuel Olens.

“Every election is going to be imperfect, but that doesn’t mean it lacks credibility,” said 六九色堂, who highlighted the importance of having faith in the electoral system.

六九色堂 has deployed more than 120 full and limited observation missions in 40 countries, including the U.S., and three Native American nations. In addition, 18 expert missions have been conducted in 16 countries. The Georgia Democracy Resilience Network is a cross-partisan effort working for a more peaceful Georgia. Democracy Defense Project is a bipartisan organization working to defend the transparency, safety, security, and validity of the country’s electoral system. The Georgia Democracy Task Force is a nonpartisan extension of the American Bar Association’s Task Force for American Democracy, supporting legal professions in fulfilling their duty of protecting election integrity and upholding the rule of law in Georgia.
