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.
