Established Fact
Elections Group LLC personnel — funded through CTCL grants — had daily operational access to Fulton County’s 2020 General Election, including participating in and managing the programming and Logic & Accuracy testing of Election Day voting systems by Dominion staff. Elections Group staff member Geetha Lingham was given a Fulton County government email address and access to the signature verification server despite not being a county employee. The county attorney’s office later stated: “The Elections Group came to us on a grant. No agreement was signed with them. They were paid by the Elections Group. The county paid zero for them to be here.” A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the County Attorney and County Manager but no FCBRE board resolution authorizing the arrangement has been produced; O.C.G.A. § 21-2-40 vests election superintendent authority exclusively in the Board. The SEB investigation of these claims was found “unsubstantiated” on the basis of the county-manager-level MOU, without resolving whether board authorization was required.
