UMVA has learned that a dramatic development has shaken the federal court system in Georgia, as District Court Judge Eleanor Ross has recused herself from an election integrity lawsuit due to concerns over her impartiality.
The stunning move comes after a report revealed that Judge Ross attended a "partisan political event" hosted by District Attorney Fani Willis's campaign, which has sparked doubts about her ability to remain impartial in the case.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the report concluded that the "private mixer" was part of a larger function that was undoubtedly partisan political in nature, despite Judge Ross claiming she attended solely to reunite with former colleagues.
The recusal has significant implications, as the case is one of numerous lawsuits brought by the U.S. Department of Justice seeking access to voter rolls in at least 30 states to conduct a federal audit of voter eligibility.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the DOJ's lawsuit has since been reassigned to U.S. District Judge Victoria Calvert, in a move that will likely have far-reaching consequences for the case.
The case has already seen significant developments, with eight cases being dismissed and appealed to their respective Appellate Courts, including in states such as Arizona, Oregon, and California.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Judge Ross is facing intense scrutiny, not only over her attendance at the partisan event but also over allegations of a sexual relationship with a police commander in her chambers during business hours.
In a shocking turn of events, Representative Clay Fuller has introduced articles of impeachment against Judge Ross, citing concerns over her conduct and potential compromise due to her marriage to a DeKalb County judge and former prosecutor.
The developments have sent shockwaves through the federal court system, raising questions about the integrity of the electoral process and the impartiality of those tasked with upholding it.
