Republican state lawmakers revise Georgia election rules in time for 2024 campaign season – By Stanley Dunlap (Georgia Recorder) / April 1, 2024
The 2024 election season may further highlight contentious voter eligibility challenges and result in the enactment of new rules governing future elections in Georgia.
Republicans in the Georgia Legislature passed a series of election rules as the 2024 session concluded last week that would change how votes are counted on ballots, create new ballot security measures, and outline the probable cause for voter eligibility challenges that have risen since the 2020 presidential election.
There is a possibility that Georgia voters notice a paper ballot watermark or become the target of mass voter challenges in the Nov. 5 election that is expected to be a rematch of President Joe Biden against the frontrunner for theGOP nomination Donald Trump.
State lawmakers voted along party lines on the final day of the 40-day legislative session to pass Senate Bill 189, which Republicans contend will reinforce the 2021 election law overhaul they say was aimed at restoring voter confidence in elections while making it harder to cheat.
