Georgia’s House speaker says Fulton County should be the subject of an independent probe after multiple reports have emerged detailing alleged issues with the Nov. 3, 2020, election and an audit that occurred after the contest.

Rep. David Ralston, a Republican who is speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, noted in a recent letter that there are serious questions about how the election unfolded in Georgia’s largest county, which includes Atlanta.
