Republican lawsuits fly in Fulton County as Election Day nears
Republicans continue to challenge Fulton County elections officials in court as Tuesday’s momentous presidential election looms.
On Saturday, a Georgia judge rejected a GOP lawsuit trying to block Fulton and other counties from opening election offices on Saturday and Sunday to let voters hand in their mail ballots in person.
Meanwhile, a Republican county election board member has filed another lawsuit seeking documents she says she needs to certify the results of Tuesday’s election.
The scrutiny underscores the county’s importance in a tight race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. A Democratic stronghold that includes most of the city of Atlanta, Fulton is Georgia’s most populous county.
