FILE – Voters depart an election center during primary voting, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in Kennesaw, Ga. ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an attempt by national and state Republicans to immediately reinstate recently passed election rules that a judge had ruled were invalid.
The rules included three that have gotten a lot of attention. One would require three poll workers to count ballots — not votes — by hand once polls close. The other two had to do with the process to certify county election results.on the State Election Board, which was praised by former President Donald Trump during a rally in Atlanta in August, voted to adopt multiple rules in August and September over the objections of the board’s lone Democrat and the nonpartisan chair.
Cox’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Eternal Vigilance Action, an organization founded and led by former state Rep. Scot Turner, a Republican. The suit argued that the State Election Board overstepped its authority in adopting the seven rules. In addition to invalidating the rules, he ordered the State Election Board to immediately inform all state and local election officials that the rules are void and not to be followed.
An earlier ruling from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney in a separate case had already temporarily blocked the hand-count rule. McBurney blocked the rule while he considers the merits of that case, saying it was too close to the general election and that implementing it at this point would cause chaos.
