Josh McKoon, chair of the Georgia Republican Party, highlighted a significant achievement at the state convention, declaring the Republican takeover of the state election board as a pivotal move. He expressed confidence that this new majority, which promotes 'election integrity,' would create a favorable environment for Donald Trump’s success in the upcoming election. He emphasized that the actions taken by the board since the takeover would help ensure a level playing field for victory in November 2024.
The recent actions of the Georgia State Election Board reflect a striking shift toward a partisan agenda, influenced by right-wing activists. This situation drew concern from various quarters, including Democrats, election officials, and some Republicans, indicating that the board is moving away from its intended nonpartisan function. Norm Eisen, an expert on election integrity, noted that Trump's allies have strategically learned from past failures, now embedding themselves within the vulnerable areas of election infrastructure earlier than before.
