For those unfamiliar…

Fulton County, Georgia Favorito v. Wan was a lawsuit filed by several Fulton County voters in October 2021, alleging that the county committed fraud in how it tallied votes in the 2020 presidential election. The plaintiffs sought to unseal ballots and other election records in order to prove their claims.

The case was dismissed by a Henry County Superior Court judge in October 2021, but the Georgia Court of of Appeals revived it in May 2023, finding that the plaintiffs had standing to sue. The case was then remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings.

I’m not sure what the implications of withdrawal of these two defense attorneys will be for this case.

Thank you for clarifying the background. Putting that with the other information about these being "defense" lawyers, I take it to mean they now view their clients (election officials) as having committed illegalities that will come out and can be proven overwhelmingly.

Maybe a delaying tactic so the county can argue that they need to find new counsel which they should have lined up by June of next year and have them up to speed on the case by December 2025. Maybe they know too much and do not want to be put in the position of lying for the client, Fulton county.
