Georgia’s Republican-controlled election board will go to trial on Tuesday after Democrats sued to block a last-minute rule change that could delay certification of the vote in November, Reuters reported.
In a 3-2 vote last month, the Georgia Election Board, led by allies of former President Donald Trump, passed a rule that allows county election board members to conduct an undefined "reasonable inquiry" into election results before certifying them. Democrats sued, arguing the rules run afoul of state law requiring officials to certify elections by a specified date.
