A MAGA Activist Flooded Georgia With Voter Challenges. Now He Works for the State Election Board.

Sporting a pumpkin-orange button-down and aggressively furrowed eyebrows, Jason Frazier approached the lectern at a Fulton County, Georgia, Elections Board meeting in March 2023. He was a regular at these once-dry sessions, which had grown increasingly contentious as he and other Donald Trump–aligned and self-styled “election integrity” activists hijacked them to allege rampant voter fraud.

At a Fulton County, Georgia, Elections Board meeting in March 2023, Jason Frazier, a MAGA activist sporting a vibrant button-down and furrowed eyebrows, stormed the lectern to challenge the registrations of 5,001 Georgians. Frazier alleged that the voting rolls contained thousands of errors and tens of thousands of duplicate registrations, leading to double voting.

His targeted challenges included a Black woman whose address had been renamed, a police sergeant, and even a former Secretary of State who had denied Trump's request for alleged vote fraud in 2020. Frazier, who earns $70 an hour in his new role as an election board investigator, has no formal investigative experience, having last worked as a project manager in 2014.

His nomination for a paid position at the Fulton County Board of Elections, which he had relentlessly challenged, was blocked by county commissioners, leading to a legal battle. In May 2025, Frazier was officially hired by the State Election Board, where he now investigates voters across all 159 counties.
