For violating the court order, the Fulton County GOP asked the court to hold all five Democratic members in civil and criminal contempt with fines up to $1,000 a day and up to 20 days of imprisonment.

“I think it is outrageous for them to ask for jail time and criminal charges, given the fact that there is a law in Georgia that no elected official can be compelled to vote in any particular way,” Barrett told Democracy Docket.

Barrett told Democracy Docket she’s “prepared to fight” the Fulton GOP’s attempt to hold her and her colleagues in contempt, and is in close contact with Ivory about the next steps in the developing saga.
