RNC FIGHTS FOR POLL WORKER PARITY IN GEORGIA
October 07, 2024
WASHINGTON - The RNC, Georgia Republican Party, and Fulton County Republican Party sued the Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections office for failing to hire a sufficient number of Republican election workers.
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated: “Fulton County has failed to comply with the law and put a partisan thumb on the scale, excluding fully qualified Republican poll workers from working the 2024 general election. This is our country’s most important election, and Fulton County must follow the law – plain and simple. We are suing to promote the confidence, fairness, and integrity in our elections that Georgians deserve.”
Background:
- Georgia law requires that election officials hire poll workers from lists submitted by political parties. This law helps ensure transparency in the administration of the election.
- Early voting is right around the corner for Georgia. It is totally unacceptable to violate state law and sow public distrust this close to the presidential election.
- We filed this lawsuit to protect the Republican Party’s right to partisan balance in poll worker hiring in Fulton County.
- The RNC is dedicated to confronting election interference from the Left, fighting for fair elections.
