Georgia Supreme Court denies RNC bid to restore election board rules
The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejected on Tuesday an attempt by national and state Republicans to reinstate a string of controversial election rules after a judge deemed them unconstitutional last week.
The state’s highest court shut down emergency efforts by the Republican National Committee to impose seven rules passed by Georgia’s State Election Board, including a ballot hand-counting rule and a rule that allows for a “reasonable inquiry” before officials certify the election.
The state Supreme Court said the RNC’s appeal would proceed in an “ordinary course,” meaning no final decisions on the appeal will be made in the battleground state before Election Day.
The decision came as early voting is well underway in the Peach State and as more than 1.5 million ballots have already been cast.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the RNC and the State Election Board for comment.
