A Fulton County Superior Court judge is set to issue a written decision on a case concerning the elections procedures manual. The judge has amended her order to focus on a specific portion of the manual that was deemed excessive in preventing voter intimidation. Attorneys involved in the case have been given 10 days to file their proposed rulings, after which the judge will review and issue her decision. In a related matter, a judge rejected a request to disclose the names of lower-level workers in the recorder's office involved in verifying ballot envelopes, citing concerns over potential harassment.
Judge rebuffs bid by @WethePeopleAZA1 to get names of lower-level workers in recorder's office who did the work comparing names on ballot envelopes with records, says risk of harassment outweighs presumption the information is public. https://t.co/Ef3MjbyQd6 https://t.co/IOCZPF9Qo4
This is very bad. It is entirely appropriate for a Fulton County Superior Court judge to issue declaratory relief to prevent problems in November with delays, chaos ensuing, people find themselves facing criminal liability, and folks scrambling to petition for writs of mandamus. https://t.co/QkDhOTuo6o
The judge told attorneys she would issue a written decision on the case, giving each side 10 days to file their proposed ruling. Once she receives the proposed rulings and reviews them, she will issue her decision. https://t.co/OjF9abOSvU
