Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger testifies before the January 6 Select Committee on June 21, 2022
Fulton County Chief Judge Ural Glanville has signed a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) granting bipartisan members of the Georgia State Election Board and poll watchers full access to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s secretive “election bunker,” the underground Emergency Operations Center where statewide vote totals from all 159 counties are aggregated and prepared for public release on this critical Primary Election Night.
The Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) comes just hours before Georgia’s critical May 19 primary elections and marks a massive win for election integrity advocates who have been demanding transparency from the very official tasked with running fair elections.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, Raffensperger’s office planned to tally and report Georgia’s 2026 primary results from an undisclosed, secure “emergency bunker” in metro Atlanta, an off-limits facility coordinated with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency that has been completely closed to candidates, the public, and even bipartisan members of the State Election Board (SEB).
Raffensperger’s team repeatedly denied requests for access, claiming no ballots are actually counted there just pre-certified county results are aggregated.
Critics called it a blatant violation of state transparency laws requiring public oversight of all election duties.
State Sen. Greg Dolezal, along with Republican candidates Chris Mora and Keli Gambrill, filed an emergency lawsuit against Raffensperger demanding the court force open the bunker.
Dolezal blasted the refusal as unacceptable, stating the room is where county results come in and questions about validity can be raised and SEB members had access in the past.
Just moments ago, Dolezal announced the huge victory:
We have secured a TRO from Chief Judge Glanville.
Bipartisan members of the State Election Board and poll watchers WILL be allowed inside Secretary Raffensperger’s “bunker” to observe tonight’s process.
Transparency wins. The people of Georgia deserve honest, observable elections.
