The Georgia State Election Board will meet for the first time since several conservative board members advanced election rules at a meeting on July 12 that has come under fire for allegedly violating Georgia’s Open Meetings Act.
According to the notice and agenda for the recently scheduled State Election Board’s virtual meeting on July 30, the five-member panel will confirm the business conducted during the meeting on July 9 and move any unfinished business to the Aug. 6 meeting. The state board’s virtual meeting is set for Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Tuesday’s meeting is set in the wake of a lawsuit filed by American Oversight on July 19 against conservative appointed election board members Rick Jeffares, Janice Johnston, and Janelle King alleging they failed to provide timely public notice for the July 12 meeting that did not have enough board members present.
