The *Election Integrity* Network’s role in the rule has not been previously reported.
#GeorgiaStateElectionBoard’s Mon meeting comes on the heels of a vote <2 wks before empowering county #election board members to conduct *reasonable inquiry* into allegations of *irregularities*. That rule did not set deadlines for how long such inquiries might last or describe what they might entail, critics worry the omission will cause #Georgia to miss the Dec 11 deadline for certifying election results.
On Mon, 1 day after #ProPublica published this article, #GeorgiaStateElectionBoard passed the rule 3-2.
~850 people attended the virtual meeting. Nationally prominent *#conservative* activists spoke in support of it, incl #HeritageFoundation’s #HansVonSpakovsky, who served on #Trump’s Pres Adv Commission on *Election Integrity* [#ElectionInterference #DemocracySubversion], & #HarryMacDougald, atty for #JeffreyClark, a fmr #DOJ ofcl indicted for helping Trump overturn the #Georgia 2020 election.
