New Georgia election rules still in play with Harris-Trump election showdown now fast and furious
The ongoing fight over the recent attempted makeover of how counties run elections by the Georgia State Election Board could be left up to the state’s highest court to decide whether the panel overstepped its authority.
The Georgia Republican Party and the National Republican Committee are requesting the Georgia Supreme Court to make a final call on whether a slew of new requirements will be enforced by the state with just over two weeks until Election Day. The GOP’s lawyers aim to overturn a Fulton County judge’s ruling Wednesday that blocks the State Election Board from enacting several new rules for the Nov. 5 general election unless the state Supreme Court rules otherwise.
Several Republican groups filed a notice of appeal Thursday directly with the Georgia Supreme Court, which will decide whether or not to take up the case. The once obscure election board is now drawing attention across the nation with its rules potentially swinging the presidential election contest between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.
Republicans are seeking a ruling from the Georgia Supreme Court instead of the state Court of Appeals to expedite getting an answer whether the election board’s series of new rules in recent months exceeded the constitutional authority of state election panels.
