Fulton County Faces Emergency Lawsuit Over Alleged Illegal Weekend Voting, Poll Watcher Ban

Nov 2, 2024, 04:06 PM

Fulton County, Georgia, has come under scrutiny for allegedly violating state election laws by opening weekend voting offices in predominantly Democrat-controlled areas. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed an emergency lawsuit against these actions, claiming they are illegal and prevent poll watchers from observing ballot drop-offs. Georgia Republican Party Chairman Josh McKoon has condemned the actions, stating that they undermine election integrity. Additionally, four counties, including Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett, have been accused of accepting ballots over the weekend without allowing Republican observers to monitor the process. This has led to accusations of election fraud and calls for citizens to monitor drop boxes and record any suspicious activity. The Biden-Harris DOJ has also sent election monitors to these counties, further intensifying the controversy. The actions are seen as an attempt to support Kamala Harris' campaign.
