A Georgia Superior Court judge has granted a state election board access to Fulton County’s 2020 presidential ballots and documents. 

The Republican-led Georgia Election Board last year reopened an investigation into how the county handled the 2020 election, FOX5 in Atlanta reported. 

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled Tuesday that the board will need to cover the costs of the ballots and documents. 

Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts told FOX5 that the elections were open and transparent, and he insisted that all votes were counted. He also asserted that Fulton County taxpayers will not be on the hook for the $400,000 that the production of the documents are estimated to cost.
