Georgia’s State Election Board recently approved a new rule that grants county election boards the authority to request additional information and conduct inquiries before certifying election results. This rule change, passed 91 days before the presidential election, has raised concerns among some board members and political parties.
The vote, which passed 3-2, saw the board's lone Democrat, Sara Tindall Ghazal, expressing worries about potential delays in result certification. Critics argue that the new rule could disrupt Georgia's established election verification processes.
