Georgia State Election Board members seek to reopen investigation into 2020 election – WSB-TV Channel 2

ATLANTA – The Georgia State Board of Elections may reopen its investigation into the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County after two committee members insisted they wanted more information.

The board met Tuesday to discuss new proposed rules for elections, but there were some tense moments throughout the morning as two board members wanted to talk about the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County again, even though the case had already been closed.

The Georgia State Board of Elections heard this from the crowd when it decided to go into closed session to once again discuss the 2020 presidential election.

Two members said Richard Elliot from Channel 2 that they want to reconsider the panel’s decision last month to reprimand Fulton County for some errors in scanning ballots during the 2020 recount – errors that had no impact on the outcome.

After nearly an hour, the committee returned and gave Fulton County critics a chance to speak.

“We can’t secure the 2024 election if we don’t understand what happened in 2020 and 2022,” said Garland Favorito of VoterGA.

Despite the errors in Fulton County, several recounts showed that President Joe Biden still won in Georgia.

Numerous investigations at the state, local and federal levels have shown that there was no voter fraud – a claim that many participants in the meeting continued to maintain, alongside conspiracy theories and unproven allegations.

“We just want a little more time to look at this,” said Janelle King, a member of the state election board.

King, who is new to the board, wants to take time to look at more information, but said the focus here is not on 2020, but rather 2024.

“I am in favor of getting more information because the information I have received has raised questions for me,” King said.

But reopening or rehearing a case that the panel has already closed could be unconstitutional, so panel chairman John Fevier said he would wait a month before moving forward so that he could get answers.

“We certainly want to make sure we do it right, so we will be seeking additional legal advice to help this board make the right decision – the right legal decision,” Fevier said.

They will make this decision next month.
