Democrats can't make Georgia governor investigate State Election Board, judge says
“I am not persuaded that the petitioners have a clear right to require the governor to investigate and hold a hearing based on public citizens’ complaint about the State Election Board,” Glanville said. “There needs to be some investigation ... then trigger the governor to do something in that respect, not just a letter by the citizens.”
Three Democrats sued Kemp after he declined to act on their demands for ethics hearings. State Attorney General Chris Carr advised Kemp that citizens’ complaints are insufficient to start a hearing process.
The lawsuit targeted three Republican State Election Board members whom former President Donald Trump praised as “pit bulls” during an Atlanta rally in August: Rick Jeffares, Janice Johnston and Janelle King.
“They’re going rogue, and there’s no accountability,” said state Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, a Democrat from Duluth and the lead plaintiff. “They need to be held accountable because we need to have fair elections.”
