Harris-Backed DNC Lawsuit Challenges Georgia Election Rules Backed by Trump's Allies, Warns of Chaos

Aug 27, 2024, 01:00 AM

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic Party of Georgia have filed a lawsuit, backed by Vice President Kamala Harris, against the Georgia State Election Board. The lawsuit challenges recent changes to the state's election certification rules, which the Democrats claim could lead to delays in certifying election results. The rules, passed by the Republican-controlled board and supported by Trump's allies, are said to potentially allow local officials to delay the certification of the November presidential election results. Democrats argue these changes could invite chaos, conflict with state laws mandating timely certification, and cause injury to their election chances. The lawsuit aims to prevent these new rules from taking effect, ensuring the integrity and timely finalization of the election process in the battleground state of Georgia.
