On the same day Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock addressed the DNC, the Georgia State Election Board approved changes to allow local election boards to delay certifying results if it suspects fraud.

The senator from Georgia said Republicans and Democrats should be deeply concerned about the changes.

“It seems to me that there are MAGA right-wing extremists right now who are positioning themselves to create an excuse for not certifying the results of an election they don’t like,” he told WABE.
