Georgia election board hires noted election denier for key investigative post

Georgia’s GOP-led state election board recently hired a notorious election denier with a history of anti-voting activism to a key post that allows him to investigate election processes across the state.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported that Jason Frazier quietly started work as an investigator with the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) on May 14.

Frazier has a long history of election controversy in the Peach State. After Georgia passed a law in 2024 to make it easy for citizens to challenge a voter’s eligibility, Frazier challenged nearly 10,000 voter registrations in Fulton County — and claims to have successfully challenged over 25,000. He has close ties to the anti-voting lawyer Cleta Mitchell — who played a key role in President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia — and helped develop EagleAI, a flawed mass voter roll database pushed by Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network.

Most recently, Frazier was one of two election deniers who were blocked appointments last August on the Fulton County Board of Elections by the board of commissioners because of their extremist, anti-voting background. Per county rules, the Fulton Republican Party is allowed to nominate people to fill two seats on the five-person board, who are then approved by the board of supervisors. But the Democratic-led board of commissioners rejected Frazier’s nomination, along with fellow election denier Julie Adams, who was reappointed by the county GOP for another term.
