The Republican Party in Georgia’s most populous county is suing local elected officials over the rejection of one of the party’s nominees to serve on the county election board. In the lawsuit filed Friday, the Fulton County Republican Party asks a judge to order the county Board of Commissioners to appoint Jason Frazier to the county Board of Elections and Registration. Frazier has recently filed challenges to the eligibility of thousands of Fulton County voters. The lawsuit said he was being punished for trying to force the county to clean up election rolls. Fulton County, which includes most of the city of Atlanta, is a Democratic stronghold.
