Georgia judge declares 7 new election rules passed by Trump-backed state board 'illegal, unconstitutional and void'
Briefly

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox declared seven new election rules by the State Election Board "illegal, unconstitutional and void," emphasizing their lack of support from Georgia's Election Code.
Cox firmly stated that the State Election Board did not have the authority to pass these rules, ordering immediate removal and notification to all election officials.
The ruling comes as multiple lawsuits challenge the legal validity of the rules, aiming to prevent potential manipulation or delays in election certification.
Concerns have been raised by Democrats and voting rights advocates that the invalidated rules could have been used by Trump’s supporters to cast doubt on election results.
