Republican criticism of Georgia Election Board grows over new rules

A growing number of mainstream Republicans are joining Democrats in pushing back against the State Election Board’s tilt toward voting policies favored by former President Donald Trump and his allies while also promoting confidence in the election system.

Two Republicans last week filed a lawsuit to block new election certification rules on grounds that the pro-Trump majority on the board exceeded its authority.

Former Gov. Nathan Deal, a two-term Republican, agreed with another former governor, Democrat Roy Barnes, at an Atlanta Press Club event this month when he said proposed rule changes this close to an election are “destroying confidence” in the system.

And a new conservative organization called RightCount led by Eric Johnson, once the top Republican in the Georgia Senate, is launching a series of ads, including one featuring everyday Georgians expressing their faith in the state’s voting system.
