Georgia election board

The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-2 to reopen an investigation into Fulton County's handling of the 2020 presidential election, responding to ongoing claims of irregularities such as double-counting ballots. This decision follows a rally where former President Trump reiterated unfounded claims about the election outcome. The inquiry, now referred to Attorney General Chris Carr, will examine allegations including 17,852 missing ballot images and over 3,000 ballots that may have been counted twice. Previous investigations attributed discrepancies to errors, with no evidence showing a significant impact on the election results, which Biden won by approximately 12,000 votes. Some board members expressed concerns about potential litigation and the use of taxpayer funds for what they see as a settled matter. Despite this, the board's majority remains committed to scrutinizing the election process further, reflecting the ongoing partisan tensions surrounding the 2020 election results.
