Sulberg to Attorney General: Concerned About Attempts to Cast Doubt on the Election Committee

Election Committee Chairman, Judge Noam Sulberg, told Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara that he is concerned about attempts to cast doubt on the Election Committee. At a meeting held yesterday, he emphasized that there is no real fear of election theft, but blunt discourse could create a sense of insecurity about the results. Baharav-Miara expressed confidence in the committee's staff, and the parties agreed to cooperate in enforcing election laws.

Election Committee Chairman, Judge Noam Sulberg, told Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara that he is "concerned about attempts to cast doubt on the Election Committee." The remarks were made at a meeting held yesterday and were published this morning on the program "This Morning" on Kan News. Sulberg stressed: "There is no real fear of 'stealing' elections; the heavier concern is that from excessive blunt discourse, a feeling of insecurity about the results may arise." Baharav-Miara responded: "I trust the committee's staff, their professionalism and dedication." At the end of the meeting, the parties issued an official statement about cooperation in enforcing election laws. The meeting was scheduled following a series of statements that cast doubt on the committee's credibility, including a classified discussion last week in the Subcommittee on Intelligence, where MK Boaz Bismut commented on "questionable appointments" and a Shin Bet representative warned about the erosion of trust in institutions as a security challenge.
