ATLANTA — Two lawsuits filed Wednesday could affect local elections in Fulton County, just days before voters cast the final ballots.
Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman is suing her six colleagues on the Fulton County Commission and wants a judge to file a temporary restraining order against them because they are allegedly “interfering with the right of free speech by (her) at Commissioner Meetings.” The suit names her fellow Democrats on the commission, as well as the Republicans.
The second lawsuit comes from Robert H. Kelly, who serves as Abdur-Rahman’s chief of staff and is running for southern Fulton’s District 5, challenging current Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Jr.
