Fulton Ballot Hearing Cancelled, Favorito Seeks DOJ Intervention
ATLANTA, GA, OCTOBER 23, 2025 – Judge Shukura Ingram abruptly cancelled a Fulton County ballot video hearing Wednesday less than 24 hours before she scheduled it to take place. The hearing on a case she held for over a year, was set last Friday morning less than two days after President Trump publicly stated he wanted to see the Fulton County 2020 votes.
The case alleges that the Fulton County Clerk Che Alexander failed to fulfill 2024 Open Records Requests (ORR) filed by Garland Favorito to obtain a copy of Fulton County 2020 ballots. The ballots were unsealed by court order in 2021. Georgia’s 2-year sealing requirement under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500 expired in 2022. The Georgia General Assembly passed SB189 legislation in 2024 to continually make ballots public records subject to ORRs.
Fulton officials and attorneys repeatedly assured Superior courts, the State Election Board and the Fulton Board of Registrations and Elections (BRE) that the 2020 ballots are being preserved. However, when Favorito submitted an ORR for a copy made independently of the Dominion voting system he received a reply from the Elections division stating: “There are no responsive documents to your request.” A second reply to the Clerk of the Court was never answered thus triggering the August 28, 2024, ORR case against Alexander.
Judge Ingram decided to transfer the case to Judge Robert McBurney who is holding the original December 23, 2020 Fulton counterfeit ballot case by Favorito and others against the BRE. McBurney mysteriously acquired that case from Judge Brian Amero shortly after Amero was overturned on December 20, 2022 by the Georgia Supreme Court, when it confirmed Fulton petitioners had standing. Petitioners in that case filed a motion to recuse McBurney on May 16, 2023, for several reasons, including derogatory extrajudicial remarks he made in his dismissal of a similar case brought by former Senator David Perdue. The motion to recuse was denied by yet another Fulton Superior Court Judge Melynee Leftridge four months later.
Fulton County has concealed the 2020 election ballots from the public for over 4 years. Favorito, the VoterGA co-founder, is calling for urgent action from the U.S. Department of Justice: “This is the third time in the last four months that a hearing in a 4-year-old case seeking to produce 2020 Georgia ballots has been cancelled the day before it was scheduled to occur. These actions are not coincidental and have led us to the brink of an election security crisis. Georgians have suffered the greatest voting rights violation in our history. It is obvious we do not have a legitimate justice system for cases that may expose election fraud. Therefore, we must rely on immediate DOJ intervention to secure the 2026 elections.”
VoterGA is a non-partisan, 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization created by a coalition of citizens working to restore election integrity in Georgia. We advocate for independently verifiable, auditable, recount capable, transparent and tamper proof elections.
