The lawsuit asks for a judgment establishing that the state board of elections does not have the authority to force the county to accept appointments to their monitoring team.
State Election Board members have stated in meetings with Fulton County BRE members that the State Election Board would disavow' the Fulton County BRE if the Fulton County BRE did not accept the monitors proposed by the State Election Board.
Fulton county then agreed to implement a third-party monitoring system, in part to assuage critics like those on the board of elections.
An advisory letter sent to the state board last month by Georgia's attorney general, Christopher Carr, also told the board that it did not have the authority to force Fulton county to accept its monitors.
