City clerk is also accused of tampering with vote machines
Two unsuccessful Riverdale City Council candidates have asked a judge to halt an upcoming runoff election, alleging fraud by a candidate who ran as a woman and tampering with voting machines by the city clerk.
Georgia Fuller and Stanley Harris, who lost bids for council seats in Ward 2 and 4, filed petitions in Clayton County Superior Court last week contesting the Nov. 6 election. The suit names City Manager Iris Jessie, City Clerk Stephanie Thomas, incumbent Ward 2 Council member Michelle Bruce, Ward 4 incumbent Council member Kenny Ruffin and Ward 2 candidate Wayne Hall.
