GOP elections board member refuses to certify Georgia primary results

Fulton County elections board member Julie Adams was a holdout in voting to certify the votes, and gave an ultimatum that she would do so only if granted access to detailed voting data, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

On May 22, a day after the state's primary, Adams sued the board and the county’s elections director, lodging accusations that she was "unable to fulfill her oath of office” and demanding that she get access to “essential election materials and processes."

Adams, who also serves as director for the Tea Party Patriots, is one of two board members nominated by the Fulton County Republican Party to the five-member board and was sworn in back in February.

Can't wait to see how many knuckleheads like this we have in November.

Whew, haven't heard the Tea Party name in the news in a hot minute. Not a big fan of the Tea Party, or the post-2016 modern Republican party. Old soul here in a young body, miss both the parties prior to 2016. I am not looking forward to November at all. Hopefully, we do not get a repeat of what happened in January three years ago.

Is it knuckleheaded?

What kind of information are they given?

Maybe if they were given more information people would feel more confident.

I'm just throwing out an alternative here.

I expect it almost certainly is.

"Adams wants ... a ruling that her duties – including certification of election results – are discretionary, not mandatory."

If Georgia is like New Mexico (or Pence's ceremonial role in accepting state electors) their job is not to investigate, but to certify. They don't have any power or role in asking for records. Her role is mandated, if the canvassing board (or whatever) fills everything out nice and neat in triplicate.

She’s contesting how her own party ran the election?

Leaving elections in limbo? Trump wants in on that!

Trump Allies Sue to Allow Election Officials to Refuse to Certify Results​

The America First Policy Institute is representing an election-denying election official who wants the discretion to refuse to certify results

In recent years, Republican election officials have refused or delayed certification of election results at least 15 times in eight states, as Rolling Stone previously reported — part of efforts to call elections into question based on Trump’s election lies.

Adams’ lawsuit marks the first legal attempt by Trumpland to help sway Georgia’s election results in November, but not her first involvement with election denial tactics. While it has been reported that Adams served as a director for the Tea Party Patriots, a pro-Trump group that helped organize the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, Rolling Stone and American Doom have found she served with another prominent election denial group that was at the forefront of efforts to overturn the 2020 election and has continued that work into 2024.

In an undated biography at the Virginia Public Policy Institute, Adams is listed as the “southeast regional coordinator” for the Election Integrity Network (EIN),Rolling Stone and American Doom have found. EIN is the brainchild of Cleta Mitchell, seen as one of the most prominent leaders of the election denial movement and a lawyer who has advised the Trump campaign.
