Fulton County Residents Demand Vote Against Jason Fraser and Julie Adams' Nominations

Young voices are rising in Fulton County, demanding a fair electoral process as the Fulton County Board of Commissioners faces critical appointments to its Board of Elections. During a recent meeting, passionate residents, including newly eligible voters, expressed their concerns over the nominations of Jason Fraser and Julie Adams, urging commissioners to reject these candidates.

A recent speaker, who just turned 18, highlighted the importance of accessible voting for all, particularly for young people and those with mobility issues. "Fulton County deserves a board of elections committed to fair and free elections," they stated, emphasizing the need for representation that reflects the community's values. The speaker's call to action resonated with many, as they urged the board to prioritize the voices of young voters.

Concerns about the integrity of the electoral process were echoed by multiple residents. Jane Williams pointed out the ongoing threats to voting rights since the dismantling of key protections in the Voting Rights Act. Reid Stilson, a local coffee shop leader, warned against appointing individuals who have shown a lack of trustworthiness in ensuring fair elections, calling for new, qualified candidates.

Rachel Glover from the ACLU of Georgia raised alarms about the potential dangers posed by Fraser and Adams, citing their involvement in voter suppression efforts and disinformation campaigns. "These individuals are not here to serve voters. They're here to advance a political agenda," she asserted, urging the board to consider the implications of their appointments as the 2026 election cycle approaches.

As the meeting progressed, the urgency of the situation became clear. Residents expressed a collective desire for election officials who prioritize the rights of voters over political agendas. The commissioners now face a pivotal decision that could shape the future of voting in Fulton County, with community members watching closely and advocating for a democratic process that is fair and accessible to all.
