Fulton County in Georgia will be fined ₹10,00,000 daily for not appointing two Republicans to the election board. The county commission, mostly Democrats, refused to approve nominees linked to voter fraud claims. A court ordered the appointments, but the Democrats voted against them, causing a 2-2 tie. The judge called the refusal a violation of the law and fined the county ₹10,00,000 daily until they comply. The Republicans want the commissioners held in contempt and face jail time. The dispute involves election rules and political tensions in the county. The next court hearing will decide further actions. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 00:54 IST; source: link)
