MACON, Ga. — If there’s ever another elections takeover attempt in Georgia, it should be run better than the prolonged and unfunded investigation that targeted Fulton County, state officials said Tuesday.
A performance review panel told the State Election Board that after a year-and-a-half evaluation, it opposes a state takeover of Fulton’s elections because the county has made improvements since the 2020 vote.
But election officials said future reviews should be handled differently from the Fulton inquiry, which was started by Republican state legislators and focused on the county that’s home to Georgia’s largest number of Democratic Party voters.
