“The sowing chaos problem”: GA elections experts say Trump allies stirring havoc to dissuade voters

The Georgia elections board passed a handful of rule changes this month that election officials across the state have decried as unnecessary and burdensome.

One rule would allow county election board members to delay the certification of votes by investigating discrepancies between ballots cast and the number of voters.

The board also advanced a rule requiring those ballots to be counted by hand.

The Georgia Association of Voter Registration and Election Officials , which represents over 500 officials, asked the board to stop making sweeping rule changes in the weeks leading to the election.

ProPublica revealed that election deniers, through the rightwing Election Integrity Network , have secretly pushed a rule adopted by the state election board to make it easier to delay certification.

Fulton County election officials are highly concerned about how the rule changes could throw election preparations into disarray.

“It gets back to that sowing chaos problem that's happening to this day , quite frankly,” said Fulton County director.
