Georgia State Election Board to review controversial election certification rules amid legal pushback

The controversy stems from that July 12 meeting, where conservative board members Rick Jeffares, Janice Johnston, and Janelle King, who have publicly expressed skepticism over President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Georgia, advanced significant election rules which a lawsuit from American Oversight alleges were enacted without sufficient public notice and with a questionable quorum; this lawsuit claims the meeting violated the Georgia Open Meetings Act, with government watchdog American Oversight calling for a temporary restraining order and an injunction against the rule changes.
