Supreme Court of Georgia

Rhonda J. Martin v. Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections

October 31, 2019307 Ga. 193

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of a challenge to the 2018 lieutenant-governor election because the petitioners did not present evidence sufficient to place the election result in doubt. It held that the trial court acted within its broad discretion in managing expedited discovery and correctly concluded that the evidence of specific and systemic irregularities was insufficient, although one factual finding was clearly erroneous. The court also upheld denial of a jury trial.
