Fulton County judge in Georgia ruled Friday that a group of voters, who believe that the county counted fraudulent ballots, can unseal and review absentee ballots from the November election last year.
The case started with a lawsuit filed on December 24, 2020 by dozens of citizens challenging the management of Fulton County’s election workers.
“Petitioners shall only be permitted to inspect and scan said ballots in accordance with protocols and practices that will be set forth by further order of the Court,” County’s Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said in a ruling.
