Georgia Election Board's New Rule Sparks Legal and Ethical Concerns

The board's recent decisions, including reopening a 2020 investigation, challenge state law and election integrity.

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule requiring 'reasonable inquiry' before certifying election results.
Legal experts argue the rule is illegal and could lead to election results being disputed without valid reasons.
The board reopened an investigation into alleged ballot improprieties in Fulton County from the 2020 election.
Critics say the board's actions are driven by partisan interests and undermine confidence in the electoral process.
The rule changes come ahead of a critical election, raising fears of potential voter disenfranchisement.
