Georgia’s State Election Board has become a MAGA government body

Georgia State Election Board passed two new rules that will go into effect immediately.

One of the rules allows pro-Trump election officials in Georgia ’s 159 counties to arbitrarily refuse to certify election results.

The board also voted to reopen a case in Fulton County , home to Atlanta , regarding double-counted ballots.

Since 2020 , local election officials across the country have refused to certify election results at least 25 times.

This includes refusals in Coffee County , where pro-Trump election officials helped election deniers working with the Trump White House to illegally access election equipment.

Now, local officials have received state officials’ blessing to refuse to certify results.

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule requiring more complex rules for what absentee ballots must look like, more rules for depositing absentee ballots into drop boxes.

The board also passed a measure requiring constant video surveillance on those drop boxes, which has long been a white whale of the election denial movement.

Trump 's team sees Georgia as their “laboratory” for a campaign that calls a Trump loss here into question.
