Georgia State Election Board will pay $50,000 for lawsuit settlement

The Georgia State Election Board will pay $50,000 to a nonprofit organization that sued the board over access to open records.

American Oversight said Wednesday it settled a Fulton County Superior Court lawsuit filed in 2024 over claims that board member Janice Johnston had "significantly delayed responses to our public records requests."

The lawsuit alleged that Johnston, vice chairwoman of the board, stopped election board attorneys from accessing her email to obtain public records held in her Gmail account. Johnston and other election board members used Gmail to correspond, according to the lawsuit.

The settlement, provided by the organization, requires the State Election Board to use official government emails.

"SEB also agrees to instruct each of its members that, to the extent they initiate, receive, or respond to any emails, text messages or messages on other applications, including but not limited to ephemeral messaging applications, they shall ensure those messages are contemporaneously retained until such messages are captured and forwarded to their respective government email account, and that members are instructed that any such messages must be produced in response to any ORA request thatencompasses such messages," the settlement said. "SEB agrees to provide these instructions to all current Members within five (5) business days of execution of this Agreement, and to any new Member as soon as reasonably practicable after such Member’s taking office."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

If election corruption is not cleaned up in Georgia, the state will turn completely blue in 2028.

Georgia State Election Board will pay $50,000 for lawsuit settlement.

Correction: Georgia taxpayers will pay $50,000 for lawsuit settlement and no one on the State Election Board will be held liable for their criminal acts.

I cannot imagine that the State of Georgia permitted their official business to be conducted on a Gmail account. That’s pretty skeezy.
