Stephens County Election Supervisor Warns of Fraudulent Texts to Voters

Stephens County Election Supervisor Bruce Carlisle contacted WNEG News yesterday to talk about recent reports to his office regarding fraudulent text messages being sent to registered voters regarding their registration status.

He talked about upcoming voter deadlines

Carlisle also said that his office and the local Post Office have been communicating and working together to make sure that election-related mail sent out by the election office is securely and promptly processed locally, and not routed through the normal postal service route where mail is sent to Atlanta to be processed before being delivered in Toccoa.
