Democrats, supported by Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, have filed a lawsuit in Georgia to challenge new election rules that they argue could lead to post-election chaos in the state. The lawsuit targets two rules recently passed by the Georgia State Election Board, allowing election officials to conduct a 'reasonable inquiry' before certifying results and permitting county election board members to investigate ballot counts.
The legal action comes amid escalating tensions over the actions of three Republican members of the state elections board, who have been praised by former President Donald Trump. Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, where he lost by a narrow margin, have fueled controversy over election integrity.
