True the Vote congratulates Ambrose King Jr. on his historic legal victory, contesting and successfully overturning the results of his recent school board race in Georgia. The Court's ruling on August 30th mandates a new election in November, marking a crucial win for election integrity.

In May 2024, Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, received a call from Ambrose King Jr., a long time resident of Tift County, GA, who had lost his bid for a school board seat. Ambrose was concerned about ineligible votes and flawed processes, but didn’t know where to turn. At the recommendation of neighbors in his community, he sought help from True the Vote.

Ambrose King Jr., the descendant from a family of Georgia patriots and a fourth generation educator, was determined to ensure a fair election.

"I commend my legal team and Election Integrity organization True The Vote for the amazing and much needed victory in this case. This is a victory for all those who believe in election fairness. This is a victory for the citizens of District 1 in Tift County, as well as it is a victory for the entire State of Georgia. Elections belong to the people. The power of the vote belongs to the people. The government belongs to people. Therefore, when elections are biased and unfair, when the vote is denied and obscure, and when the government impairs voting integrity and aligns with election engineering, the people are robbed of its true candidate. I am thankful, the citizens of District 1 have another chance to speak. Those 2 votes were just as important to me as the 154. I want my community to know that I will fight and win for them just as I did for those 2 votes.", observed King, Jr.

“This election challenge highlights the broader issues plaguing our national electoral system—issues that True the Vote is dedicated to addressing. When Ambrose reached out for assistance, we equipped him with the tools and support necessary to contest the results. Our efforts revealed inaccuracies in voter records and district maps, which, when presented in court, led to the overturning of an unjust election. Ambrose’s victory demonstrates that vigilance can indeed restore justice.”, said True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht.

Jake Evans, attorney for Ambrose King, Jr., commented, “This is a big win for the candidates and the voters, both of whom deserve fair elections. I am happy for candidate Ambrose King, Jr. as he looks forward to a new election.”

This case stands in stark contrast to claims by Georgia officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who continue to assert that the state’s elections are flawless. Ambrose King Jr.’s experience underscores the challenges candidates and voters routinely experience.

Ambrose King Jr. is now preparing for a new election this November.
