Fulton County is back in the headlines Wednesday. You remember the Georgia county, where TDS-riddled District Attorney Fani Willis tried to “get” Trump on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election results in the state? That didn’t go well.

Now the county election board is under fire from a Senior Superior Court judge for their refusal to follow the law:
A judge has found the Fulton County Commission in civil contempt of court for refusing to comply with an order to appoint the local Republican Party’s two nominees for the Fulton County Election Board.
Superior Judge David Emerson has ordered the commission to pay a fine of $10,000 per day starting Friday until the body approves the two nominees.
“The court finds beyond reasonable doubt that the Board of Commissioners has failed to comply with this court’s order,” Emerson wrote in a ruling.

The board has thus far refused to seat the nominees because they questioned election irregularities in the past. The judge wasn’t having it:
In the 17-page ruling, Senior Superior Court Judge David Emerson said the fines — levied against the board as a group — will begin Friday at noon. Fines would stop once the commission appoints the GOP nominees. Emerson also awarded attorney’s fees to the Fulton County Republican Party, which filed suit against the commissioners.
In his ruling, Emerson called the commissioners “stubbornly litigious” and said they “acted in bad faith” by not seating the Republican nominees, even after he ordered them to do so.
Board members failed to approve the nominees, both of whom are election critics, in a 2-2, party-line vote last week. Three Democrats on the seven-person commission were absent at the time of the vote.
The Democrats tried to sound all high-minded and virtuous for defying the judge. Commissioners Dana Barrett and Mo Ivory spoke from the steps of the Fulton County Superior Court before the ruling:
“I understood that when I voted there might be consequences for my actions,” Barrett said. “So I will face those consequences with my head held high, because I do not cast my vote for people who are actively working to undermine our elections.”
Sounds good, but it might cost you $10,000 a day.
Georgia Republican activist and one of the targets of Fani Willis’ crusade, Amy Kremer, tweeted her congratulations:

Judge Emerson ruled the Board of Commissioners acted in bad faith and were “stubbornly litigious” by refusing to follow local law.
The court has ordered fines of $10,000 per day starting Aug 29, 2025 until they comply. 💥
They were also ordered to pay the @FultonCo_GA_GOP attorney fees.
Congrats @JasonFrazierUSA, Julie Adams, & Stephanie Endres (Fulton Co GOP Chair)
