The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported this week that Georgia voters’ registration information was exposed on the internet after a data breach at a Woodstock, Georgia company that streamlines voter check-ins in dozens of Georgia counties.

Most of the counties that contract with the company are larger counties that use software to print out filled-in election applications for voters when they arrive at the polls, instead of requiring voters to complete paperwork by hand.

The company said that no Social Security numbers or driver’s license numbers were compromised.

The Georgia voter registration system remains secure, according to the secretary of state’s office.

“EasyVote is not part of Georgia’s voting system. They are a vendor that some counties use to assist them with voter check-in procedures. No part of the state system has been affected,” said Ari Schaffer, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office.

EasyVote contacted law enforcement and is working with a cybersecurity firm and reviewing the files to determine the extent of the information that may have been exposed.
