Georgia GOP Mulls Takeover of Fulton County Elections

“With a rising drumbeat of criticism, several Republican Georgia legislators are building a case for the state government to take over Fulton County elections,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“The newfound power to fire local elections management, created by Georgia’s voting law, worries voting rights advocates, who say it could be abused for partisan purposes to tamper with the heavily Democratic county.”

“Though a state monitor reported sloppy management, three counts of Fulton’s ballots arrived at similar results and state election investigators haven’t found fraud.”
