Anne Dover, the director of elections for Cherokee County, expressed serious concerns about the new rules introduced by the State Election Board, stating, 'Some of them appear to contradict state law, putting local officials in a no-win situation. If you write a rule that goes against the law, then are you going to turn me in to the attorney general when I break your rule? I'm of the mind-set that I will break a rule before I will break a law.'
Georgia's election officials feel frustrated by the recent actions of the State Election Board, leading to uncertainty just before the November elections. One official remarked on the increasing scrutiny and challenges, specifically saying, 'Running elections has become increasingly difficult in many parts of the country since 2020. The scrutiny over the process of conducting elections and tabulating the vote has been especially intense in Georgia.'
Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state in Georgia, criticized the State Election Board, stating, 'The Georgia State Election Board is a mess.' He highlighted the challenges posed by the new rules being implemented so close to the upcoming election, indicating that these changes could lead to confusion and potential chaos.
