DNC wades into Georgia election rules fight as new leader takes reins
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is intervening in the case against Georgia’s State Election Board, in an effort to block Republican-proposed rules.
“To the great annoyance of MAGA Republicans in Georgia, the DNC is making it clear: there are no off-days when it comes to protecting democracy. Politicians don’t decide our elections — voters do,” wrote Ken Martin, the newly elected DNC chair, in a statement.
“As Republican officials in Georgia have made clear, these new rules were made up by Republicans in the run-up to November’s election and don’t make our elections fairer or stronger. They are an attempt to sow distrust in our elections. Democrats are standing on the side of Georgians — the only people who should decide their state’s elections.”
The DNC filed an amicus brief in the case Friday, arguing the “Hand Count” and “Reasonable Inquiry” rules each violate the Georgia Election Code and exceed the board’s statutory authority.
