LP SOS candidate: Republicans, Democrats Should Focus on Verifying Vote Accuracy
ATLANTA - This past week the Obama Justice Department joined Georgia Seretary of State Brian Kemp in a motion to dismiss the aging federal case over verifying Georgia voters' identity and citizenship.
Secretary Kemp was quoted as saying, "Every ballot cast by a noncitizen erases a ballot cast by an eligible Georgia citizen.”
David Chastain, the 2010 Libertarian candidate for Secretary of State responds with the following statement:
"I am confident the majority of folks who understand our representative form of democracy agree that only U.S. citizens should be allowed to participate in the voting process, in Georgia and across these United States.”
"With that said, someone should ask Secretary Kemp how many ballots have been cast by illegal voters. Then, ask him how many thousands of electronic votes have been erased because his voting machines counted those votes as blanks.”
"Brian's zeal to qualify legal voters overshadows his disregard of the bigger problem - the lack of integrity in Georgia's unverifiable electronic voting system.”
"On this issue the Republicans and Democrats agree. It's more important to verify voters than it is to verify vote accuracy."

For IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
John Monds will be announcing his intention to seek the Libertarian Party of Georgia’s nomination for Governor with a press conference at the Capitol in Atlanta with family, close friends and supporters by his side Wednesday, March 25th at 4:00pm.
During his campaign for Public Service Commission (District 1) in 2008, Monds became the first Libertarian to break one million votes in the United States. Monds and the Libertarian Party believe Georgians are ready for something new and different. “It’s difficult to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats; both want to raise your taxes, waste your money and increase the size and scope of state government,” said Monds. “We must be competitive in the 21st Century. We must have meaningful tax reform that allows businesses and individuals to thrive,
a transportation system that eases congestion without raising taxes, an education system that gives more choices and returns control to the local level, and we need to stop wasting the taxpayers’ money with mandated long term incarceration of individuals for non-violent victimless infractions of the law.”
John Monds, 43, is a graduate of Morehouse College with a degree in Banking and Finance, President of the Grady County NAACP and currently serves on the Grady County Planning Commission.
He resides in Cairo with his wife, Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds, and four children, Akintunde, Cazembe, Halima and Malik. You can read more about John Monds at www.VoteMonds.com
