NEW: An Atlanta judge has declared seven new Georgia state election board rules "illegal, unconstitutional and void." This includes certification rule saying all election docs must be made available to local board members and another requiring hand count # of ballots. (via Sam Gringlas, WABE)
I’ve lost track of Georgia shenanigans. Is this net good or net bad?
well the Gov signed them into law way before the election so the judge might not have a leg to stand on. Its been law over 6 months if i remember.
Does this address that hand counting of the ballot nonsense?
Excellent
The next move will be to find a way to remove the board members who are passing illegal rules.
“Cox found that the State Election Board overstepped its authority and that the rules violated specific Georgia laws, the Georgia Constitution and the US Constitution. He directed the State Election Board to immediately notify state & local election officials that the rules are not to be followed.”
Local election board members in Georgia cannot refuse to certify election results in any scenario, even if they report concerns about fraud or errors, a state judge ruled Tuesday.
Thank you Judge Cox!
OMG don't tell me that sanity will actually save this election. Almost too good to be true.
Not just hand counting but tactic leading to tossed out blocks of votes that were “under suspicion”. Thank God for someone with sanity.
Why is so much of the document written in capital letters?
