Source [10] shows Chairman Robb Pitts and the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections filed a petition over the seizure of 2020 election records, which partly fits the claim's subject. No source addresses whether those filings were made with or without board permission, so the central 'without permission' element cannot be graded.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A petition dated 2026-10-31 names Fulton Commission Chairman Robb Pitts and the Board of Registration and Elections as petitioners seeking redress over the seizure of 2020 election records.[2]
Context. Sources on Julie Adams's lawsuits concern a single board member suing over access to records and certification, not officials acting without board authorization.[1][3][4]
Context. The speaker's account that officials filed suits 'without the permission of the board' appears only in the claimant's own passage, which cannot corroborate the claim. The claim also departs from the passage by treating the speaker's assertion as an established fact about the board's consent.
