Georgia Election Certification Rules Face Increased Scrutiny Ahead of Presidential Election

Proposed regulations and partisan disputes raise concerns over the certification process in a key battleground state.

Republican election board members in Georgia have increasingly objected to certifying election results since 2020.
A new rule requiring 'reasonable inquiry' before certification could lead to more noncertification votes.
Georgia's State Election Board is considering a 'reconciliation' rule to match counted votes with counted voters.
Critics argue that these rules could delay certification and create chaos in the election process.
Supporters claim the rules ensure transparency and accuracy in vote counting.
