Georgia Board Sparks Lawsuit Over Election Monitors

The Georgia State Election Board, with a Republican majority, is attempting to appoint election monitors in Fulton County, prompting a lawsuit from the county claiming the board lacks the legal authority to do so. This move is part of broader tensions and legal challenges regarding election monitoring and alleged voter fraud, with the board also investigating voter eligibility challenges across eight counties. In Michigan, voter fraud concerns have been highlighted, though evidence suggests such instances are exceedingly rare. Meanwhile, voter registration is surging in Kentucky, driven by first-time voters and increased political engagement. In Texas, concerns over 54,000 potentially ineligible names on Bexar County's voter rolls have been raised, though officials note the complexities of updating voter records in compliance with federal law.
