Allies of former President Trump have gained control of the Georgia State Election Board, implementing policies that enable pro-Trump officials to refuse to certify election results. This move follows Trump's praise for board members who support these changes, which critics claim could undermine the electoral process by allowing arbitrary decisions on certification. The board's new rules, which passed with a Republican majority, could lead to significant delays and disputes over election outcomes in Georgia, a key battleground state. These developments are part of a broader national trend where partisan actors are attempting to manipulate election administration across several states. Despite these maneuvers, experts assert that any attempts to overturn legitimate election results remain illegal. The situation raises alarms about the integrity of future elections, as many fear the consequences of empowering election deniers.
