Kelvin King, one of several Republicans vying to be Georgia's next secretary of state, criticized the legislature's failure to pass certain election integrity bills during the 2026 session in an open letter posted to X on April 3, 2026.

The letter, accompanied by the caption "Georgia's Election Integrity Failures Are No Longer Acceptable," called out the legislature's decision to not push Senate Bill 214 to the governor's desk. The bill would have initiated a shift to hand-marked paper ballots and away from electronic ballots for in-person voters.
"Georgians are fed up with elected officials telling us what they should've, would've or could've done to address the concerns of their constituents," the letter said. "It has become clear that until there is new leadership in the Office of Secretary of State, our state government will not take action to follow the law or fully secure our elections."
King's campaign for the position has focused on bolstering election staff and ending the state's contract with Dominion Voting System, in an effort to better secure the state's elections.
He will face off against the other four Republicans hoping to fill the position in the May 19 primary.
