Atlanta, GA — The Fulton County Commission held a long-awaited vote on whether to approve the Republican appointments to the Board of Elections. They had previously defied the law by refusing the appointments, and a judge had ordered the county commission to follow the law and accept the two appointments from GRA member and Fulton GOP Chairman Stephanie Endres. She appointed GRA Election Integrity Chairman Jason Frazier and election integrity activist Julie Adams to serve, but when it came time for the Commissioners to vote, several of the Democrat Fulton County commissioners left the room before the vote was taken.
The final result was 2 in favor and 2 against. Thus, the motion failed.
The Democrats on the commission have labeled Frazier and Adams as extremists simply because they take election integrity seriously. Yet now, these same Democrats are disregarding both the law and a court order—and they may soon find themselves in serious trouble.
The Fulton County Republican Party, with help from attorneys from the RNC, filed a motion on Thursday to find the defiant Democrat commissioners in contempt.
This is not the first time the Democrat-controlled commission has violated the law by refusing to accept Endres’ appointment to the board. In June of 2023, the county commission also rejected Frazier. Frazier had developed a reputation by volunteering his own time and money to clean up voter rolls in Fulton because the county wasn’t doing its job as required by law. In one example of his challenges, an abandoned house at 850 Oak Street NW in Atlanta had twenty voter registrations!
Frazier had also been the one to discover that there were approximately 20,000 duplicate voter registrations in Fulton and approximately 2,000 registrations had no address listed.
