Fulton Judge Considers Whether to Clarify 2 New Ga. Election Certification Rules

A judge is considering whether to issue clarification or guidance for two new rules from the Georgia State Election Board that have to do with county certification of election results.

Supporters of the rules say they are necessary to ensure the accuracy of the vote totals before county election officials sign off on them. But critics worry that supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump could use the rules to delay or deny certification if the former president loses the state to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, causing confusion and casting doubt on the results.
