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.

The 3 board members whom #Trump had praised BY NAME passed the rule over the objections of the lone Democratic appointee & the chair, who had been appointed by #Republican Gov #BrianKemp.

#Georgia’s #GOP-controlled State #Election Board is poised to adopt a rule on Mon that would give county election board members an additional avenue to #delay #certification of election results, potentially allowing them to throw the state’s vote count into chaos this fall.

A fmr #FultonCounty election ofcl who submitted an initial draft of the rule told #ProPublica she had done so at the behest of a regional leader of a #FarRight org involved in challenging the legitimacy of American election systems. That org, the *Election Integrity* Network, is led by [disgraced atty] #CletaMitchell, who helped orchestrate attempts to overturn the 2020 #election & spoke on the call in which #Trump demanded #Georgia’s secy of state “find” 11,780 votes to undo #Biden’s win.
