On the same day as the 2024 general election (which was run by the county), municipal elections were scheduled in Camilla, Georgia.  There was a firestorm with notable racial overtones about the eligibility of a former city councilmember, who had resigned after a court found that he was not a resident of the city and could not be on the 2024 ballot.  (Appellate decision here; more coverage here.)  The elections supervisor apparently refused to remove the former councilmember from the ballot; both she and her deputy resigned the night before the election.   

Apparently under the advice of the city attorney and guidance from the Secretary of State’s Office, the city council voted “not to proceed with the election to avoid incurring a fine due to the absence of a certified Election Superintendent” – and the mayor allegedly instructed the city’s police chief to post officers outside polling places for the municipal election preventing people from entering.

And now the elections supervisor, her deputy, and the mayor have been indicted by a county grand jury for interfering with an election.
