DNC and Georgia Dems Sue to Block New GOP Rules That Could Delay Election Results and Sow Chaos

HeadlineAug 27, 2024

In other voting news, the Democratic National Committee and the Georgia Democratic Party have sued to halt new election rules in Georgia that Democrats fear could be used to block certification of election results if Democrats win in November. Under the new rules, local election officials could delay certifying election results until they conduct what’s described as a “reasonable inquiry.” The Democratic lawsuit warns this new rule could “invite chaos” after Election Day. Journalist Ari Berman recently wrote, “5 alarm fire for democracy in Georgia: MAGA majority on state election board laying groundwork not to certify election if Trump loses again. They’re telegraphing exactly how they’re planning to try to steal the election this time.”
