New Georgia Election Rule Raises Concerns Over Certification Delays

Experts warn that the vague new rule could empower election deniers and disrupt the 2024 presidential election.

The Georgia State Election Board's new rule allows delays in certifying election results pending 'reasonable inquiries.'
Critics argue the rule's vagueness could be exploited to challenge legitimate results based on unfounded fraud claims.
The rule change comes as election deniers gain influence within the Georgia State Election Board.
Legal experts fear the rule could lead to widespread certification refusals and subsequent legal battles.
The new rule's impact may set a precedent for other swing states ahead of the 2024 election.
