National GOP goes to the mat to get anti-voting extremists on election board in key Georgia county

The Fulton County Republican Party asked the Georgia Supreme Court to step in after a lower court ruled local officials can reject its election-denying nominees.

The petition, filed Thursday, asks the state’s highest court to overturn a March ruling that allowed the Fulton County Board of Commissioners (BOC) to refuse to appoint two GOP-backed nominees — both of whom have challenged 2020 election results — to the county’s Board of Registration and Elections.

“Democrats in Fulton County can ignore the law and stall all they want, but we’re not going anywhere,” Republican National Committee chairman Joe Gruters and Georgia Republican Party chairman Josh McKoon said in a joint statement. “We will keep fighting until they are held accountable and forced to follow the law, and we will not stop until Republican nominees are given the equal representation they are entitled to under Georgia law.”

The Fulton County elections board oversees voter registration, absentee ballots and certification of election results in Georgia’s most populous county.
