The Georgia State Election Board has voted to appoint a bipartisan panel to review the management of elections in Fulton County, an inquiry that could lead to the replacement of the county’s election board by a state board-appointed interim superintendent.
The inquiry is the first of its kind under the election law Georgia Republicans passed in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. The law authorized the state’s election board to audit the management of elections in any county at the request of local state lawmakers.
