A Georgia judge has ruled against the Fulton County Republican Party in its effort to get a nominee onto the county election board.
The group filed a request for a temporary restraining order to keep the county’s Board of Commissioners from filling a seat on the elections board.
Fulton Superior Court Senior Judge Christopher Brasher declined to issue the order Thursday after the commissioners argued there wasn’t a vacancy on the elections board, according to plaintiff attorney David Oles.
The lawsuit has been added to online court records, but the judge’s ruling as of Friday afternoon had not.
Last month, the commissioners voted 5-2 to not appoint Jason Frazier, one of the two nominees that the county GOP chose for Fulton’s Board of Registration and Elections.
