Democrats on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners claim that they can’t comply with a court order to seat nominated Republicans because those Republicans are “election deniers.”
Georgia Democrats are defying state law and a standing court order.
Like Nancy Pelosi, who refused to seat Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the January 6th committee, Fulton County Democrats are refusing to seat two Republicans on the Fulton County Elections Board. This lawless action is in direct violation of a Fulton election ordinance:
Two members shall be appointed by the governing authority of Fulton County from nominations made by the chairperson of the county executive committee of the political party whose candidates received the second largest number of such votes [14-33].
Under this legal standard, the Republican Party is entitled to nominate two members to serve on the board. The two candidates, nominated by the GOP several months ago, are Julie Adams and Jason Frazier. They have yet to be seated.
This issue has been adjudicated in a courtroom, and the Democrats were found guilty of violating election law. On August 3, Superior Court Judge David Emerson ruled that Fulton County is required to seat the two Republican nominees. Because they refused, Judge Emerson ruled (August 27) that the Fulton County Board of Commissioners was in contempt of court, and was required to pay $10,000 per day until the two Republicans are seated. In the words of Judge Emerson, this matter is clear-cut:
I didn't see anywhere in that legislation that the commission was given veto power over the nominees. Is it in there, did I miss it?
The judge temporarily stayed the penalty because Democrats intend to file an appeal; however, that appeal will fail.

Why a fine? It seems jail time should be in order.
Fascists, totalitarian, Constitutional crisis!
Don’t expect those rinos, like Kemp and RaffsenJackass, to get off their asses and EVER do anything about Fulton County.
From Atlanta city officials to the county commission to the sheriff, THIS is the kind of rot you can smell all the way to Valdosta.
To me, Kemp isn’t even a RINO. He’s a compromised Republican testbed for what is now a ‘Rat operation in Arizona. The ‘Rats were afraid of getting caught, themselves, so they used Kemp. Now, they’re not afraid of anything and Kemp gets to hang out until they take over the Peach State completely.
Typical RATS. Always above the law. You don’t have to worry about U.S. laws when you have 35 million illegal alien colonists and invader in your voter base.
Does this mean they really CAN’T comply with a court order, or they just WON’T ? I suspect it is the latter & they need to be compelled to comply.
Our democracy is at stake.
Democrats are a threat to Democracy.
Their democracy is at stake.
Election denial = FREE SPEECH
Those morons are going to be sorry they ever opened this can of worms for a loser late night host.
A sure sign of Democrat lying is their m*stur**ting on words. What else can they do, as most seem to have never visited a dictionary.
Sounds like precedent for Trump to tell Federal district judges to p*ss off.
They need to fix elections, Find ways such as having only Democrats on the council to ensure they can block opponents.
So they are "court order deniers"?
how about sending in the Georgia State Patrol and arrest them for being criminals?
Pretty sure this would be considered Local, not Federal.
Georgia Democrats Defy Court Order
SAY ain’t that some of that some of that the democracy shit the democrats keep harping about.
