The State Elections Board is sending a complaint against Habersham County Election Superintendent Laurel Ellison to the State Attorney General’s Office to be investigated. The panel bound over the case to Attorney General Chris Carr during its meeting on February 24.
The complaint dates back three years to 2018, when it was revealed publicly that Ellison had incorrectly districted 402 voters in the wrong State House districts. She incorrectly placed 214 voters who should have been in House District 10 in House District 28 and 188 voters who should have been in House District 28 in House District 10.
