[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The Georgia State Election Board passed a new rule with a 3-2 vote on Tuesday that could delay election certification and give board members more discretion to investigate elections.

The rule states that the board can only certify an election “after reasonable inquiry that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election.”

“Reasonable” is doing a lot of work there.

[quote][b]Memo: Georgia Secretary Of State Won’t Train Counties To Comply With Election Board’s Rule Yet[/b]
October 04, 2024

[...]
Blake Evans, the election director for the secretary of state, sent guidance to county election officials indicating the state will not bother providing “additional training … until after any court decisions are made,” according to a document obtained by The Federalist.

[...]
“As you may be aware, there are pending court challenges to the legality of these rules, and hearings have been scheduled in these cases for this week,” the guidance continues. “The Attorney General’s office wrote in a memo to the SEB that the proposed rule amendment was ‘not tethered to any statute — and [is] therefore, likely the precise type of impermissible legislation that agencies cannot do.’”

“Because the SEB rules are tied up in litigation, and because poll worker training in many counties has already started and there is limited time remaining for additional training, the SOS Elections Division does not intend to provide additional training on SEB rules until after any court decisions are made.”

The Democratic National Committee and Georgia’s Democrat Party sued the SEB in September over the approval of Rule 183-1-12-.12(a)(5). The rule states that “the poll manager and two witnesses” shall, after removing the “paper ballots from each ballot box, record the date and time that the ballot box was emptied and present to three sworn precinct poll officers to independently count the total number of ballots removed from the scanner, sorting into stacks of 50 ballots, continuing until all of the ballots have been counted separately by each of the three poll officers.”[/quote][/quote]
