Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's general counsel criticized the State Election Board's proposed changes, arguing they're dangerously late in the election process and likely illegal. McGowan emphasized that the recent changes could disrupt the election and sow confusion among poll workers.
The letter warns that the new power granted to local officials over election certification could lead to chaotic outcomes, particularly if the board pursues changes that favor former President Trump's electoral chances.
Charlene S. McGowan's letter presents a stark choice for the State Election Board: accept the top election official's guidance or proceed with potentially divisive and rushed rules that could jeopardize the election's integrity.
The urgency of the situation is underscored by McGowan's assertion that election procedures should be settled well ahead of the election, allowing proper training for poll workers and smooth execution on voting day.
