https://www.GoodMorningGwinnett.comThe Gwinnett County Board of Elections voted Monday night to dismiss all remaining challenges to voter eligibility that had been filed by conservative residents who alleged 22,000 voter registration records were invalid.
The board’s 3-2 vote found that there wasn’t probable cause to move forward with the voter challenges because they were primarily based on records of voters’ mailing addresses rather than more specific allegations that they were no longer eligible to vote in Georgia.
The challenges were an effort to disqualify registrations from this fall’s election based on the belief that voters had likely moved out of state. They were filed last month by Gwinnett residents and VoterGA, an advocacy organization that claims the 2020 election — including President Donald Trump’s defeat at the polls — was fraudulent.
