Georgia Supreme Court Rejects New Election Rules
News summary

The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's ruling that blocked new election rules proposed by the Republican-majority State Election Board, which included controversial measures such as hand-counting ballots on election night. Fulton County Superior Judge Thomas Cox had deemed these rules illegal and unconstitutional, asserting that the State Election Board overstepped its authority. The court's decision to maintain the current legal status quo comes just weeks before the November elections, preventing any last-minute changes that could disrupt the voting process. The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Georgia Republican Party are appealing the ruling, arguing that the measures are essential for election integrity. Meanwhile, early voting in Georgia is reportedly breaking records, despite the ongoing legal battles. The situation highlights the contentious nature of election laws in the state, with implications for both parties as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
