Long County Elections Chair Says Attorney Suggested Resignation

Savannah, GA, October 15, 2026 —

The chair of the Long County board of elections says she fears an effort to remove her, alleging the county attorney suggested she resign or face a court petition seeking her removal.

The available account does not identify the chair or the attorney, or specify when the conversation took place. It also does not provide the attorney’s account of the exchange or indicate whether a court petition has been filed.

The allegation concerns a possible route to removing the board chair, but the information provided does not explain the legal basis for a petition, who would bring it, or what circumstances prompted the reported suggestion. No details are available about the chair’s response beyond her stated concern that an attempt to oust her may be underway.

It is therefore unclear whether the reported conversation led to any formal action. The account does not say that the chair has resigned, that a petition has been submitted, or that a court has considered the matter.

The claim remains attributed to the chair; no independent confirmation or response from the county attorney is included in the information available. Further details—including the timing of the exchange and whether any formal removal process has begun—were not provided.
