Fulton County Avoids Investigation by Attorney General Despite Violating Election Regulations

0:00

Two Republican members of the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections refused to certify the 2020 presidential election due to concerns with the county’s election administration. Recently, the State Election Board (SEB) criticized the county for violating the law during the 2020 election but did not refer the case for further investigation by the attorney general.

The SEB voted 2-1 to require Fulton County to have an independent election monitor following the discovery that over 3,000 ballots were scanned twice during the 2020 presidential recount. The Georgia secretary of state’s office could not verify if the duplicated ballots were included in the final count.

Fulton County’s handling of the election was called into question, with missing ballot images and allegations of irregularities. Despite evidence of violations, the SEB decided not to fine the county or involve the attorney general in the investigation.

There were calls for accountability, with one board member advocating for invalidating the votes or investigating the paper ballots for authenticity. However, the motion to hold Fulton County accountable was not passed.

Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia criticized the SEB for not referring the case to the attorney general for further investigation. This decision came after previous incidents where Fulton County failed to count votes during the 2022 primary.

In conclusion, concerns about the 2020 election in Fulton County persist, with calls for greater accountability and transparency in the election process.
