The Georgia state election board has settled a lawsuit filed by a watchdog organization over access to board members’ emails for $50,000 and an agreement to conduct future business without using private email.
The settlement requires the Republican-controlled board, which continues to push for additional investigation into the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, to instruct its members to use official email accounts, and “not to use personal email accounts, text messaging, or messaging through other applications for that purpose”.
