In three filings today in the election fraud case making its way through court in Fulton County, GA, attorneys declared the county has ‘no control over its elections’ in a bit to stop the election audit that was scheduled to begin tomorrow, when county employees were to discuss how to implement the court-ordered scan of 147k mail-in ballots at 600 dpi, enough resolution to detect fraud. The case is being heard by Judge Amero in Henry County, GA.
Today Judge Amero delayed the audit pending a hearing on the motions filed.
In a hearing on May 21st, CDMedia reported Fulton County attorneys also stated ‘the county has no control over its elections’.
Below are excerpts from the motions, which can be found on tabs below in PDF format:

…In Casey, the Court also noted that although the Clayton Commission was granted budgetary
control in regards to its board of elections, the court questioned the true extent of the county’s
budgetary authority in light of state obligations regarding the conduct of elections…
