Lawsuit claims Fulton County Commissioners unlawfully blocked GOP nominees from Board of Elections

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — In a new lawsuit, Republicans claim the Fulton County Board of Commissioners unlawfully blocked two GOP nominees to the county's Board of Elections.

The suit, filed late Friday evening by the Fulton County Republican Party, claimed the Commission "violated state law by rejecting the nominees of the Fulton County Republican Party (“Fulton GOP”) to the Board of Elections."

The legal filing asked the court to force the Board of Commissioners to confirm the nominees.

Fulton County's director of external affairs Jessica Corbitt-Dominguez declined to comment when reached Monday, saying "Fulton County does not comment on matters of pending litigation."
