Practices of “convenience voting” in Calhoun County and improper ballot assistance in Americus were ordered to stop and deemed worthy of criminal sanctions after hearings on the two complaints were held earlier this week. Acting on the Inspector General’s recommendations Monday, the State Elections Board voted 4-1 to issue a formal cease and desist order against Calhoun County Elections Superintendent Annie Doris Holder and Chief Registrar Calvin Harp, and refer the case to the Georgia Attorney General for further action on the convenience voting complaint, including corrective instructions and sanctions for violating several Georgia laws. In related news, the investigation into former Americus mayoral candidate James Bryant’s alleged 2005 “assistance” to elderly absentee voters progressed on Monday, as the state elections board, attorney general’s office, and Bryant agreed to a formal consent order, reprimand, and $600 fine. Bryant initially denied the allegations that he “improperly assisted six elderly voters with their ballots,” but after the case was heard by the Office of State Administrative Hearings, he “admitted to the conduct and wanted to resolve the case.” The Albany Herald has the rest of the story.
