Fulton plans to approve hiring election monitor as another lawsuit filed over 2020 results

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County plans to approve the hiring of an election monitor for the 2024 elections, even as a noted election critic files another lawsuit over the 2020 election.

The Georgia Secretary of State supports this move, according to Pitts. This monitor role was part of an agreement with the old State Elections Board, but the new board members have yet to approve it. Pitts said that they are moving forward with the plan, which may eventually involve monitors from The Carter Center.

I think it’s good to have another set of eyes or sets of eyes on our elections,” Pitts said. “One or two or three... I’m okay with it. It just makes our job a little easier, and it lends credibility to the fact that our elections are, once again, open and fair and transparent.”

On the other side of the county, Favorito announced a new lawsuit to gain access to the 2020 ballots.
