Georgia's largest county is prepared to name a paid lobbyist for liberal voting law activist Stacey Abrams' group to be the next chairwoman of its election board, drawing immediate condemnation from the state's top election official.

Fulton County's Board of Commissioners confirmed Tuesday it is considering hiring Cathy Woolard, a former Atlanta city council president and mayoral candidate, as the next chair of the county's election board. A vote is expected as early as Wednesday, according to the commission's meeting docket.

Woolard was hired earlier this year as a lobbyist for Fair Fight Action Inc., a voting law advocacy group founded by Abrams, and was paid in excess of $10,000 to to lobby the Georgia government on "social welfare" and "voting rights" before she terminated her lobbying registration earlier this week, state records reviewed by Just the News show.

By appointing Woolard as Chair, the balance is shifted permanently to the Democrats.  The position is supposed to be a non-partisan one.  But with this changes, there is really no point in having an election board at all except as a rubber stamp to Democrat vote fraud.

Raffensperger is hemming and hawing.  But in the end, he will do nothing to stop it.
