Georgia Election Board's New Rules Could Delay Vote Certification, Stir Chaos

Recent rules passed by a Trump-endorsed board may prolong certification, risking unrest and undermining trust in the electoral process.

Newly approved rules by Georgia's State Election Board could delay election certification for up to seven days.
Experts warn that these delays could foster unrest and increase the risk of violence against election workers.
The rules allow the board to conduct 'reasonable inquiries' and examine all election-related documents before certification, though the criteria are vague.
Election deniers, including newly appointed board member Sharlene Alexander, have introduced over 30 rules since May, many of which have been approved.
Democratic groups are legally challenging the new rules, arguing they threaten to disrupt the certification process and disenfranchise voters.
