Georgia Election Board Requests 2020 Reinvestigation

The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-2 to request the Attorney General to reinvestigate Fulton County's 2020 election handling, reflecting ongoing GOP concerns over that election. This action follows a rally where former President Donald Trump reiterated unproven claims of winning Georgia and praised the board members. Concurrently, the board passed a controversial rule allowing county officials to conduct 'reasonable inquiries' before certifying election results, potentially delaying certifications. Critics argue this vague rule could undermine timely and fair election processes, while supporters claim it ensures accuracy. The rule's impact on upcoming elections remains uncertain, with both legal challenges and heightened scrutiny anticipated.
