Fulton County claims\u2064 that the SEB has overstepped its jurisdiction and mishandled\u2064 its \u200cresponsibilities\u2062 regarding election monitors.

Fulton County Election Board\u200d Chairwoman Sherri Allen expressed concerns about the SEB\u2019s inconsistent information and inaction regarding monitoring, particularly \u2063as the county \u2062has appointed its own monitoring team,\u2064 which the \u200dSEB \u2064has contested.\u200b In \u2064response to the lawsuit, the SEB has issued subpoenas for \u2063county records from the 2020 election and for Fulton board members to attend a meeting. The situation reflects ongoing tensions surrounding election oversight and monitoring in\u2063 Georgia.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Fulton County sues Georgia Election Board for control over election monitoring<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1780174\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Fulton County is suing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Republican\">Republican<\/a>-controlled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Republican\">Georgia<\/a> State Election Board for control over its election monitoring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>In the latest of several lawsuits targeting the State Election Board, Fulton County is alleging that election monitoring in the county by the state is outside of its jurisdiction and that it has improperly handled its duties.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The SEB has repeatedly provided conflicting information and failed to take action related to monitors,&rdquo; Fulton Election Board Chairwoman Sherri Allen said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/election\/fulton-county-is-suing-the-state-election-board-after-it-pushed-election-skeptics-to-monitor-elections\/KSEXUPVI5ZAO5ACSNB6ZOGEVRU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>according to<\/a> the <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em>. &ldquo;With less than 30 days until the Nov. 5 general election, the Fulton County Board of Registration &amp; Elections has filed a petition for declaratory and injunctive relief in order to seek clarification from the court about responsibilities for monitors for the upcoming election.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">State election board member Janelle King, right, and Sara Tindall Ghazal listen to discussion during a Georgia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-and-gop-senator-thom-tillis-win-north-carolina-decision-desk-hq\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump and GOP Senator Thom Tillis Win North Carolina: Decision Desk HQ\">state election board<\/a> meeting at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-republicans-meet-at-state-capitol-in-wisconsin-vote-for-gop-slate-of-electors\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Republicans Meet at State Capitol in Wisconsin \u2013 Vote for GOP Slate of Electors\">state capitol<\/a>, Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, in Atlanta.
