ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia State Board of Elections plans to appoint a review panel this week as part of a process that could lead to a takeover of elections in the state’s most populous county under a provision in the state’s sweeping new election law.

Republican lawmakers cited the new law when they asked the state board last month to appoint the performance review board to investigate Fulton County’s handling of elections. The board plans to appoint the panel during its meeting Wednesday…

Democrats and voting rights activists have said the new takeover provision in state law leaves the door open for political interference in the electoral process and could allow suppression of votes. They’ve said the county conducted a successful election last year and the review is unnecessary…

The investigation is to be followed by a preliminary hearing within 90 days of the receipt of the original request. During that preliminary hearing, the State Election Board is to decide whether the matter should be dismissed or whether it should proceed to a full hearing…

The county board could seek reinstatement. If the state board refuses, its administrator would remain in place for at least nine months. The administrator would have the authority to make any personnel changes related to running elections, including replacing the director of elections and all poll officers.

The state board also is charged with setting rules for the process. Once the rules are proposed, they will be subject to a public comment period before they can be adopted…

Barron survived the county election board’s attempt earlier this year to fire him after the county board of commissioners rejected the election board’s recommendation. In a letter dated July 16, Ralph Jones announced his resignation as registration chief, effective Aug. 6.
