A unanimous vote by the State Election Board on Tuesday scuttled a potential state takeover of elections in Fulton County following Georgia’s 2020 presidential race.
The board concluded that Fulton, a bastion of Democratic voters, made significant corrections to election operations over the past two years during a performance review started by Republican state legislators under a voting law that passed the General Assembly in 2021.
Though State Election Board members voted against replacing Fulton’s bipartisan election board, they also urged the county to continue its progress in preparation for next year’s presidential election.
