It seems the fraud was so widespread in Fulton County Republicans could no longer pretend it didn't happen:
Georgia Republicans set process in motion for state takeover of Fulton County elections
by Jake Dima, Breaking News Reporter | | July 28, 2021 10:18 PM
Georgia Republicans requested a performance review of the top elections official in Fulton County, the first step toward a possible state takeover of Atlanta-area voting contests.
A group of two dozen lawmakers signed a letter, obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, seeking the inquiry into Fulton elections chief Richard Barron, who is facing backlash for his handling of the 2020 election in the Democratic stronghold.
“We’re asking them to simply correct a record they say is easily corrected. Is it or isn’t it? The people of Georgia deserve answers,” Republican Senate President Pro Tempore Butch Miller wrote in the letter.
Under a Georgia law approved this year, the State Election Board can remove county elections management after a performance review or a similar investigation if they find "nonfeasance, malfeasance, or gross negligence in the administration of the elections" in at least two elections within two years, after which a temporary superintendent would be installed.
But first, two state representatives and two state senators from the county must back the request for the performance review.
