A Republican member of the Fulton County elections board refuses to certify primary election results unless given access to detailed voting data, in a move that Democrats worry could jeopardize certification of November’s general election results.
Julie Adams, who joined the Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections in February, filed a lawsuit against the board and the county’s elections director immediately after the May 21 primary, claiming she’s being prevented from performing her board duties. Adams wants access to “essential election materials and processes” and a ruling that her duties – including certification of election results – are discretionary, not mandatory.
