Another ballot audit set to move ahead in Fulton County, Georgia, as judge rules absentee ballots can be unsealed

Yet another ballot audit is set to move ahead in Georgia's most populous county after a judge ruled Friday that absentee ballots could be unsealed for parties looking to examine them for evidence of fraud.

The review of Fulton County's absentee ballots, which is not set to begin until the judge reviews the terms of the audit, comes as conservatives have clamored for election audits in a number of states in the wake of former President Donald Trump's November loss. The baseless belief that there was widespread fraud has persisted among some Republicans, despite the lack of evidence. While the Fulton County case paves the way for yet another ballot audit, it will not lead to Georgia's election results -- which have already been certified for President Joe Biden -- being overturned.
