Attorneys for Fulton County, Georgia, asked a state court to dismiss a complaint filed against the county in which petitioners sought to unseal 2020 election absentee ballots in search of fraud.
The motion to dismiss, which was filed on Wednesday, argued Garland Favorito and the other plaintiffs never served the county and that the Superior Court of Fulton County lacks jurisdiction in the case.
JUDGE RULES ABSENTEE BALLOTS FROM FULTON COUNTY CAN BE UNSEALED FOR FRAUD EXAMINATION. "It is an improper party because it is not the final policymaker with control over elections," the motion said.
Last Friday, Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ruled in favor of the plaintiffs' complaint, which seeks a declaratory judgment ruling that the county violated Georgia's due process and equal protection clauses with respect to 2020 absentee ballot tabulation, according to a summary in Wednesday's motion to dismiss.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger suggested the plaintiffs' complaint was appropriate and criticized the county for its past handling of elections.
The ruling and any prospective findings cannot change 2020 election results in Fulton County, as they have been certified and confirmed with recounts, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
