A Georgia appeals court ruled Fulton County commissioners can reject Republican election board nominees, upholding their authority to reject candidates they deem unsuitable.
A Georgia appeals court ruled that Fulton County commissioners are not required to appoint two Republican nominees to the county’s election board, upholding their right to reject candidates they deem unsuitable.
The decision, reversing a lower court’s contempt finding and $10,000-per-day fine, affirms that while commissioners must choose from party-provided lists, they have legal authority to reject nominees and request replacements.
The ruling stems from the Democratic-majority commission’s rejection of Julie Adams and Jason Frazier, citing concerns over their conduct and views on election integrity.
The decision allows the county to avoid penalties and sets a precedent that could affect election board appointments across Georgia.
Republicans may appeal to the state Supreme Court, but the high court is not obligated to hear the case.
