Judge denies attempt to stop vote in City of South Fulton election

A federal judge has ruled people can continue to vote in the election for a potential City of South Fulton.

Judge Eleanor Ross in the Northern District of Georgia denied a request Thursday for a temporary restraining order that would have halted the election for the new city.

A resident of the potential city, John Davis, filed suit earlier this month asking that the election be stopped. He argued that some residents who were voting in the referendum lived in areas that either could not be part of the City of South Fulton or were disputed because of annexations by Atlanta.
