Democrats sue Georgia election board over changes passed by officials under investigation and possible removal

Democrats sued the Georgia election board over changes passed by officials who are now under investigation.

Three allies of former President Donald Trump on the State Election Board proposed new changes to state electoral law, allowing more stringent treatment of ballot counting and electoral certification. The three were hit by an ethics complaint from Fulton County’s former elections board chief, pushing the Democrats to argue that the ethics inquiry should be looked into before the new measures were passed. They also argued that the board members should be removed.
