Raffensperger Threatens to Take Over County Board

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) “left the door wide open to a potential state takeover of Fulton County’s election board when asked about it during a visit to South Georgia,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“The state’s new election law, Senate Bill 202, paved the way for state officials to intervene and eventually take over county boards that are deemed ‘underperforming.’”

Said Raffensperger: “No one wants to take over a county election board. But when you have a situation that’s gone on for 25 years, at some point, people say enough is enough.”
