Court-ordered review of Fulton County 2020 absentee ballots on hold
A new challenge to a lawsuit filed by self-described election integrity activists is putting proceedings on hold just as the terms of a court-ordered review of Fulton Countys 2020 presidential absentee ballots were to get hammered out at an election records warehouse.
Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero canceled a planned Friday meeting to create a plan to review more than 145,000 absentee ballots after Fulton Countys Election Board filed a challenge to the lawsuit late Thursday. Instead, Amero set a June 21 date to hear Fulton Countys new attorneys argue why the review of ballot images should never get underway.
Fulton retained the Atlanta law firm Garland, Samuel and Loeb to prompt Amero to reconsider his order last week that granted a review of ballots cast in the Nov. 3 presidential election. The new attorneys include Don Samuel, one of the states top criminal defense lawyers.
A group of Georgia voters led by government watchdog and VoterGa founder Garland Favorito filed the lawsuit in an attempt to prove that fraudulent votes and other irregularities factored into President Joe Bidens 2020 Georgia win.
