Leli hhovisi lithole ukugxekwa abalandeli bakaTrump abaphasise umthetho obanzi ongaholela ekuthathweni kwesishayamthetho sezwe esilawulwa yiRepublican.
Ihhovisi lokhetho eFulton County, iDemocratic Party of Georgia, lithe ngoMsombuluko abasebenzi ababili baxoshwe ngenxa yokudabula amafomu okubhalisela ukuvota, okungenzeka kuqinise uphenyo oluholwa yiRiphabhulikhi kuleli hhovisi, abagxeki abalichaze njengelinenhlese yezepolitiki.
Izisebenzi zeKhomishini yoKhetho yaseFulton County zixoshwe ngoLwesihlanu ngoba ezinye izisebenzi zibabone becekela phansi amafomu okubhalisa abelinde ukucutshungulwa ngaphambi kokhetho lwasekhaya lwangoNovemba, kusho umqondisi wokhetho esifundeni uRichard Barron.
USihlalo weKomidi leFulton County uRob Pitts esitatimendeni uthe bobabili ummeli wesifunda sase-County kanye noNobhala Wezwe uBrad Ravenspeg kumele baphenye ngalolu daba.
Kodwa uMnu. Ravensperger uqale wadalula izinsolo zokwephulwa kwefomu lokubhalisa futhi wakhipha umbiko kwabezindaba oqinile ecela uMnyango Wezobulungiswa ukuthi uphenye “ukungakwazi ukwenza kahle kanye nobubi” bale nhlangano."Ngemva kokuqopha iminyaka engu-20 yokuhlulwa okhethweni lwaseFulton County, abantu baseGeorgia bakhathele ukulinda isambulo esilandelayo esiyihlazo," esho.
Isitatimende sakhe sigcizelele kuphela umthelela wezepolitiki wezindleko zokuchithwa kwemibhalo, futhi cishe kuqinisekile ukuthi izindleko ezinjalo ngeke zithinteke kunoma yiliphi elinye ihhovisi lokhetho.Izikhulu zeFulton County azizange zicacise ukuthi mangaki amafomu adwenguliwe, kodwa uMnu. Ravensberg ulinganisele ingqikithi yenani lesifunda esinabavoti abangu-800,000 cishe kwabangu-300.
Yize kuvele izinsolo zokungaziphathi kahle ngoLwesihlanu, akucaci ukuthi leli fomu lachithwa nini ngempela.
UMnu. Ravensberg usezuze ukunakwa kuzwelonke ngokwenqaba isicelo sikaMongameli wangaphambili uDonald J. Trump “sokuthola” amavoti anele ukuze achithe ukunqoba okubuthaka kukaMongameli Biden esifundazweni.Uzobhekana noMnu. Trump ngentwasahlobo ezayo.Ama-primaries anzima okuxhasa izimbangi.Ngaso leso sikhathi, ihhovisi le-Fulton County Election Office seliphenduke into ecasulayo phakathi kwabasekeli bakaTrump, abathi ngokungenasisekelo ukunqoba kukaMnu Biden esifundazweni kwakungekho emthethweni.
Abanye abalandeli bafaka icala befuna kubuyekezwe futhi ukhetho lukamongameli eFulton County, okuhlanganisa nedolobha elikhulu lase-Atlanta, kanye nama-73% abavoti asekela uMnu Biden.Ivoti lezwe lonke eGeorgia selibalwe kathathu, futhi abukho ubufakazi bokukhwabanisa.
Isishayamthetho sezwe esiholwa yiRiphabhulikhi sigunyaze ingxenye yomthetho kule ntwasahlobo esivumela ukuthi silawule ngempumelelo ikhomishini yokhetho yezwe futhi sigunyaze ikhomishana ukuthi iphenye izikhalazo ezenziwe abenzi bomthetho ngokumelene nama-ejensi okhetho asendaweni.I-Fulton County yakhethwa ngokushesha ukuze iphenywe, futhi ekugcineni ikomidi lokhetho lingathathelwa indawo umholi wesikhashana onamandla abanzi okwengamela ukuvota.
Abagqugquzeli bokuvota kanye namaDemocrats esifundeni sonke babheka uphenyo njengesinyathelo sokuqala sokuthatha kukaTrump uhlelo lokhetho lwesifunda, okuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu emathembeni eDemocratic Party okhethweni oluzayo.
“Angicabangi ukuthi sikhona esinye isifunda kulolu phiko esinamandla okuguqula ihhovisi lokhetho elingachemile libe umnyango oyingxenye yehhovisi likaNobhala Wombuso,” kusho umqondisi wokhetho eFulton County uMnu. Barron etshela i-Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Ukusebenza kwesifunda okhethweni bekuxubile.Kube nolayini omude okhethweni lwamaprimary ngonyaka odlule, kanti ukhetho lwezifunda selunesikhathi eside kukhalwa ngakho.Umbiko ka-ombudsman oqokwe nguhulumeni uphethe ngokuthi ukhetho lapho “belunobudedengu”, kodwa abukho ubufakazi “bokungathembeki, ukukhwabanisa noma ukwenza okubi ngamabomu” okutholakele.
IKhomishana Yokhetho iveze intuthuko yakamuva, njengamabhukwana okuqeqesha abuyekeziwe kanye nabaphathi bokhetho abasanda kuqashwa, njengobufakazi bokuthi isingatha izikhalo.Kodwa njengoba ukhetho oluzayo lwangoNovemba lwemeya yase-Atlanta kanye nomkhandlu wedolobha lubonakala njengovivinyo lwekhono lebhodi, ukudalulwa kwangoMsombuluko kunikeza abagxeki izinhlamvu ezintsha.
UMary Norwood, isakhamuzi saseFulton, ulahlekelwe yimidlalo emibili nemeya yase-Atlanta ngesilinganiso esincane futhi sekuyisikhathi eside egxeka ibhodi.Uthe uyahambisana nokuthi kuphenywe ngezinsolo ezicindezelayo.
"Uma unabasebenzi ababili abaxoshwa yi-Returning Officer, lokho kuzodala uphenyo nokuhlaziya," kusho yena."Kubalulekile ukuthi sikwenze lokhu."
