Elected leaders in Georgia’s Fulton County put off vote on Republican election board nominees
Fulton County Board of Commissioners postponed voting on two Republican election board nominees amid ongoing legal disputes and partisan disagreements over nominee eligibility.
- On Wednesday, Fulton County commissioners once again reviewed whether to confirm the two GOP candidates, Julie Adams and Jason Frazier, to serve on the county’s election board in Atlanta.
- This ongoing issue stems from the Democratic majority's repeated rejection of the nominees due to concerns over their prior election-related actions.
- The commissioners voted 5-2 along party lines to table the nominations pending ongoing court appeals after being fined for contempt for previous refusals.
- Superior Court Judge David Emerson ruled that commissioners cannot reject qualified nominees, imposing a $10,000 daily fine now on hold during appeals.
- The delay highlights legal and political tensions with lawmakers urging public support and the commission weighing options amid calls to resume court resolution.
