Georgia State Election Board Faces Barrage of Lawsuits

As six of the Georgia State Election Board’s (SEB) controversial rules take effect on Monday, the board is facing seven different lawsuits from Democrats, Republicans and county officials.

While the lawsuits are directed at the entire five-member board, many of the SEB’s rules have been passed with a 3-2 vote with the three MAGA members — Janice Johnston, Rick Jeffares and Janelle King — supporting them. These members have been personally praised by former President Donald Trump.

The other two members — SEB Chair John Fervier and the sole Democratic member Sara Tindall Ghazal — have staunchly opposed all of them.

The rules being challenged could delay election results and certification and may lead to election officials and members of the public spreading allegations of fraud and casting doubt on the credibility of the election.
