Republicans plan to install election deniers in major swing state's two bluest counties
"Republicans in Georgia are taking steps to position election deniers in key oversight roles within Fulton and DeKalb counties, two of the state’s most Democratic strongholds, according to a Democracy Docket report published Tuesday.
In DeKalb County, one GOP nominee for the local Board of Registration and Elections has an extensive history of lodging mass voter challenges, raising alarms among voting rights advocates. The second nominee was rejected by an administrative judge due to prior public statements about the board and a lawsuit he filed against it.
The Democracy Docket report noted: "Republicans are already laying the foundation to undermine a fair 2026 midterm election in Georgia, where they’re working to install voting skeptics on local election boards."
These efforts in Fulton and DeKalb — both majority-Black counties with large Democratic voter populations — raise concerns that such placements could undermine confidence in the electoral process and potentially suppress Democratic votes in the critical 2026 midterms."
