Disqualified Commission Candidate Appeals to Superior Court

Alicia Adams the former Republican candidate for Cobb Board of Commissioners District 2 has taken legal action to contest her disqualification from the upcoming May 21 primary election. Adams' petition to the Cobb Superior Court seeks to overturn her candidacy disqualification and requests the postponement of the primary election, centering on a contentious debate over the district map used for candidate qualification.

The core of the dispute lies in the Cobb Board of Elections’ decision to use a "home rule" map adopted by the commission's Democratic majority rather than the map approved by the Georgia General Assembly. This controversy was further ignited when a lawsuit challenged Adams' candidacy based on residency criteria under the "home rule" map, leading to her disqualification.

Cobb Superior Court previously ruled the Democrats' home rule resolution unconstitutional, with an appeal pending before the Supreme Court of Georgia. In response to the lawsuit, the Cobb Board of Elections' attorney has withheld comments, pending a court hearing.

Adams and her legal team are advocating for an expedited review and hearing, aiming to resolve the dispute over which map should govern candidate qualifications and potentially affect the scheduling of the May 21 primary.
