In neighboring Fulton County, the local Republican party filed a lawsuit this month arguing the county’s board of commissioners violated state law by rejecting their nominees.

The party sought to reappoint Julie Adams and add right-wing activist Jason Frazier. Adams refused to certify last year’s primary election results. She also has ties to the far-right Election Integrity Network, while Frazier has challenged voter registrations in Fulton County and sued the board last year over its response to his challenges.

“It’s not possible to work with folks trying to sow discord and chaos,” Commissioner Mo Ivory said before voting to reject Adams’ reappointment.

However, the GOP insists its nominees meet the specified qualifications and therefore must be approved by the board.

Madness.
