Democrats, supported by Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, have filed a lawsuit to challenge new election rules in Georgia that they argue could lead to post-election chaos in the state. The lawsuit, brought by the Democratic National Committee, the Georgia Democratic Party, and Democratic members of county election boards, targets two rules recently passed by the Georgia State Election Board.
The contested rules allow election officials to conduct a 'reasonable inquiry' before certifying election results and enable county election board members to investigate ballot counts. This legal action comes amid growing concerns over the actions of three Republican members of the state elections board, who have received praise from former President Donald Trump for their recent decisions.
