These aren’t your typical lessons!FILE - Voters depart an election center during primary voting, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in Kennesaw, Ga. – The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an attempt by national and state Republicans to immediately reinstate recently passed election rules that a judge had ruled were invalid.
While some prominent Republicans in Georgia, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, have criticized the flurry of last-minute rules the State Election Board introduced, the state and national Republican parties have been supportive of the board. They have said the rules promote transparency and accountability in the state’s elections.
But an earlier ruling from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney in a separate case temporarily blocked a rule requiring that three poll workers each count the paper ballots — not votes — by hand after the polls close. McBurney blocked the rule while he considers the merits of that case, saying it was too close to the general election and implementing that new rule at this point would cause chaos.
