88-Year-Old Voter Challenges Fulton Roll Practices at Election Board
An 88-year-old voter confronts Fulton County’s voter roll issues at the Georgia State Election Board meeting.

An 88-year-old Fulton County voter took a stand at the Georgia State Election Board meeting on September 28, challenging the county’s handling of voter roll maintenance. He read the statute, a move that lawyers and bureaucrats have allegedly avoided. The meeting saw heated debate over whether Fulton County followed the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) when refusing to act on a challenge against a voter who had moved.
During the meeting, a lawyer representing the state argued that the NVRA creates a “very special category” for voters who have moved. She claimed that without written confirmation, a voter’s signature on a registration card from a new jurisdiction must be placed on inactive status for two federal election cycles before removal. The lawyer insisted that Fulton County “followed the law.”
Chairman John Fervier attempted to move the discussion forward, stating that the board had already spent “a great deal of the day” on Fulton County, and that the issue was the county’s fault. Earl Ferguson, the 88-year-old voter, was given the chance to respond. He quickly clarified that Section 8(d) of the NVRA prevents states from removing a registrant for a change of address within two federal election cycles. He emphasized that the challenges before the board were aimed at voters who had done something to make them ineligible, not at ordinary change-of-address mail.
Ferguson is no stranger to this issue. He and Jason Frazier previously sued the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections in August 2024, arguing the county was ignoring lawful challenges and refusing to maintain an accurate roll. According to state election board records from the December 2025 meeting, Ferguson had filed roughly 1,800 challenges in December 2023 against voters he claimed had moved out of state and registered elsewhere. Fulton dismissed them, with only six people responding, four of whom wanted to be removed.

Ferguson’s efforts have drawn attention over the years. In 2023, Frazier reported finding about 20,000 duplicate registrations in Fulton and submitting around 10,000 challenges, with about 1,600 still pending. He also flagged about 2,000 registrations tied to a “Missing Address” street. Despite these findings, the Fulton County Commission refused to clean the list, instead rejecting Frazier when Republicans nominated him to the county election board, while seating the Democratic nominees.
