In Georgia, the state election board unanimously adopted a rule change in May 2020, citing Covid-19.
The regulation for early opening and scanning of absentee ballots was plainly contrary to the statute governing the handling of absentee ballots and therefore clearly unlawful.
The people who called the 2020 election the “most secure” in history have spent the past several years slandering as “election deniers” anyone who questions that election’s administration.
But others remain frustrated by the many last-minute changes to election laws and processes that occurred shortly before that presidential contest — changes that in some cases may have been illegal.
It allowed counties to open and scan absentee ballots up to three weeks before the November 2020 general election and several other elections in the 2020 election cycle.
Whatever the outcome of Adderholdt’s case, Georgia voters deserve to know whether Raffensperger, the state election board, and county boards of election violated the law in the 2020 election.
Emergency Rule Approved During a May 18, 2020, state election board meeting, Raffensperger’s General Counsel Ryan Germany argued in favor of the proposed rule change.
