The Georgia Democratic Party has taken legal action against the State Election Board's newly adopted rules, fearing they could empower county officials to refuse certifying election results.
Filed in an Atlanta court, the lawsuit claims the rules violate state law and could result in post-election disorder, accusing the Trump-aligned board of overstepping its authority.
Republicans defend the rules, stating they promote transparency and public trust in elections. This lawsuit is the latest development in Georgia's ongoing political battles over voting procedures.
