Georgia State Election Board continues raising eyebrows with recent moves

For most of its life, the Georgia State Election Board has been a sleepy bureaucratic body little-known outside the State Capitol, charged with making rules to help carry out Georgia election law. 

That changed last year, when an emboldened Republican majority passed a slew of last-minute rule changes that drew legal challenges and national headlines just before the 2024 election.

This summer, the board has kept busy – with the Republican members taking a series of actions during July meetings that raised eyebrows among some election observers.
