DNC, Ga. Democratic Party Sue State Election Board

By Jim Thomas, Newsmax, 26 August 2024 09:29 PM EDT

The Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Party of Georgia have sued the Republican-led Georgia State Election Board.

Kyle Griffin, executive producer of MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” posted on X: “The DNC and the Democratic Party of Georgia has sued the Republican-controlled Georgia State Election Board to prevent [former President Donald] Trump’s allies on the Board from blocking the certification of the 2024 election.

“The DNC says the lawsuit is to ensure that Georgia’s State Election Board ‘doesn’t turn a straightforward and mandatory act of certification into a broad license for any county board member to try and delay or block the certification of election results and the will of Georgia voters.’”

Georgia’s State Election Board recently adopted a new rule that will allow county election boards to request additional information and conduct inquiries before certifying election results, CNN reported.

The change, which took effect 91 days before the 2024 presidential election, has raised concerns among critics, including the board’s only Democrat, Sara Tindall Ghazal, who argue the rule could lead to delays in certifying results in the upcoming general election.

Georgia’s board, which has no direct role in determining election results, writes rules to ensure that elections run smoothly and hears complaints about alleged violations. Democrats and voting rights groups fear that a recently cemented majority of Republican partisans on the board could push the limits of state law with rules hindering the effective administration of elections and the swift certification of results.

Democrats made important gains in the 2020 election cycle in Georgia, winning two key U.S. Senate seats in addition to President Joe Biden’s narrow victory. However, state government remains dominated by Republicans — with a significant faction loyal to Trump.

The DNC lawsuit underscores the deep distrust between the two parties over election integrity and the certification process.
