STATE ELECTION BOARD

Dear: Joseph Rossi

RE: SEB2023-025

As a courtesy, you are hereby informed that a matter regarding which you provided information
to the State Election Board is on the agenda for the Board’s meeting to be held on December 19, 2023, at
8:30 A.M. The meeting will take place at the Georgia State Capitol, Room 341. You are not required to
attend but are welcome to attend if you wish.

Only the respondent, as the party who is accused of a violation, is entitled to be heard on the
allegations. The respondent, as the party accused, but no other party or parties will be afforded the
opportunity to offer input for the Board to consider in determining whether a violation was committed
and the disposition of the matter.

The matter involves allegations that were investigated by experienced investigators. During the
investigation, the investigators considered facts initially supplied when the matter was opened and any
other relevant information obtained and developed regarding the allegations. The investigators have
prepared for the Board’s exclusive use a written report which is provided to each of the Board Members
to review and study prior to the meeting. The report contains, where appropriate, an evaluation whether
the respondent(s) violated either state election law or State Election Board rules. At the Board meeting,
investigators will present to the Board the findings of their investigation. The Board will make its own
independent determination whether there was or was not a violation.

The Board has separated complaints that will be heard at the meeting into two groups: those in
which investigators found a violation and those in which they did not. This matter is in the violation
found category. The Board has sole discretion to determine if a violation occurred and, if so, how a matter
will be resolved. If the Board finds that there has been no violation, the complaint will be dismissed. If
the Board determines that there has been a violation, the Board has several options including but not
limited to referring the matter to the Attorney General and/or a District Attorney or issuing a Letter of
Instruction.

The Board thanks you for your participation in our electoral process and in its ongoing quest for
open, accessible, fair, transparent and trustworthy elections.

Sincerely,

The Georgia State Election Board
