State Senator Greg Dolezal and two fellow Republican candidates have filed an emergency lawsuit against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, demanding a court order to let poll watchers and State Election Board observers into the infamous “bunker” where Georgia’s statewide vote totals are received and published.
Senator Dolezal, a Trump-aligned warrior running for Lieutenant Governor, made the announcement himself:
“UPDATE: Along with two other candidates, I have filed a lawsuit against Secretary Brad Raffensperger seeking a court order to allow poll watchers and State Election Board observers into ‘the bunker,’ where Georgia’s statewide vote totals are received and published. Transparency should not be controversial.”

Joining Dolezal in the lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court are congressional candidate Chris Mora and Cobb County Commissioner Keli Gambrill.
The emergency motion seeks a temporary restraining order and writ of mandamus to compel Raffensperger’s office to grant real-time access to the Election Night Reporting Room / Emergency Operations Center – the so-called “bunker” – where county results are aggregated, verified, and released to the public.
The Federalist explains:
“The secretary of state’s secure, centralized Election Night Reporting Room — known in Georgia election circles as ‘the Bunker’ — is an underground facility on the east side of Atlanta where votes from Georgia’s 159 counties are aggregated in real time and statewide results are prepared for public release. On election nights, a small team of SOS (Secretary of State) staff monitors the process in a conference-room-style setting as final numbers roll in.”
According to reports, both Republican and Democrat observers requested access. Dolezal argued that allowing observers into the room would simply provide “additional transparency and additional confidence” in the process.
The controversy exploded after reports surfaced claiming the “bunker” was off-limits not only to the public, but even to members of Georgia’s State Election Board.
