The Georgia State Board of Elections has enacted changes that threaten voting rights for people of color, undermined by the Supreme Court's weakening of the Voting Rights Act.
Efforts to disrupt the certification process have become common, with election deniers attacking primarily Black and brown voters, allowing for procedural manipulation in vote counting.
Historically noncontroversial, election certification processes are now targeted with delays and challenges primarily focused on districts with high concentrations of Black voters like Fulton County.
The recent approval of new rules by the state board enables county election boards to conduct unregulated inquiries and restrict oversight, raising concerns about fair voting practices.
