The State Election Board is pushing election skeptics to monitor Fulton County's elections

The fight between the State Election Board and Fulton County took dramatic twists Tuesday, with the county suing the state and the board voting to subpoena the county’s election records from the 2020 presidential election.

The dispute centers on the county’s refusal to accept election monitors favored by the board’s Republican majority, including election skeptics who objected to the results of the 2020 race.

Fulton has already appointed a team to monitor its performance in the November election as part of an agreement with the board and the secretary of state’s office. But Republican members of the state board now want to appoint their own monitors to oversee Fulton’s operations.

The county board of elections filed a lawsuit Monday claiming the state board has no legal authority to appoint its own monitors.
