Democrats have filed a lawsuit against Georgia’s State Election Board over a new rule that mandates a hand-count of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day. The Democratic Party argues that this rule, passed by a GOP-controlled board, could lead to significant delays in vote tallying and create opportunities for claims of election fraud, thereby undermining public confidence. The rule was passed despite warnings from Georgia’s Attorney General and Secretary of State that it may violate state law and be blocked in court. The lawsuit is part of a broader legal battle over election rules in Georgia.
