The Georgia State Election Board is facing immense pressure to reconsider its new rules, with legal opinions suggesting they exceed statutory authority and may disrupt the upcoming elections.
Elizabeth Young, a senior assistant attorney general, stated that the proposed hand-counting of ballots lacks statutory support, making it a likely form of impermissible legislation.
Critics are concerned that last month's changes granting local officials more power over election certification could create chaos and lead to partisan manipulation.
With the election approaching and ballots already mailed, changes to how elections are conducted raise alarms about the potential for undermining the electoral process.
