GAINESVILLE – Members of the Hall County Board of Elections and Registrations were silent Tuesday afternoon on any possible legal action they may take in an effort to gain supervisory control of the Elections Director position, but they weren’t hesitant to speak loudly in support of the Elections Director, Lori Wurtz, by what they said and did during the meeting.
Board members took turns verbally praising Wurtz’s work during the challenging 2020 election process, and then reinforced their words by unanimously passing a resolution to seek from the Hall County Commission a doubling of her staff for the next fiscal year, and to acquire additional space for her team to safely and securely store the ever-increasing volume of voting machinery they are required to maintain.
