The integrity of Fulton County elections officials and employees has been the subject of relentless and baseless attacks following the November elections by ardent supporters and lawyers for President Donald Trump.
The conspiracy theory that Fulton acted illegally to throw the Georgia’s election to Joe Biden has been de-bunked by state elections officials.
“Giving oxygen to this continued disinformation, is leading to a continuing erosion of people’s belief in our elections and our processes,” said Gabriel Sterling with the Secretary of State’s office.
The attempt by Trump lawyers to disqualify thousands of legally cast ballots in Fulton County has also overshadowed, at times, the turnaround effort for Fulton County, which eliminated many of the long lines and technical problems it experienced during the June primaries.
“To hear people who have no idea what they’re talking about continue to make baseless claims about what happened or did not happen within Fulton County, it is frustrating,” said Fulton County chairman Robb Pitts.
