Democrats are suing Georgia over new election rules. Former President Trump is praising Georgia GOP board members as 'pit bulls'. NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard, MSNBC's Lisa Rubin and former campaign manager for Julián Castro Maya Rupert join Chris Jansing to react.
In one of the latest legal fights brewing ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Democrats in Georgia have filed a lawsuit to prevent chaos and confusion in the battleground state. The petition against the state election board was sparked by two rules passed by the Republican-majority board regarding election certification, a process that should be straightforward but that the GOP has sought to complicate.
But it’s a mandatory one, and any fraud or misconduct allegations are meant to be resolved in court through legal challenges, not by county boards during the counting process. “To the extent either rule does allow election officials to delay certification or not certify — as the rules’ drafters avowedly intend — it is invalid,” the petition argues, seeking to “prevent chaos in November” by clarifying the issue now. Certifying election results shouldn’t be a contentious issue.
