With a little more than a month left until election day, Georgia’s State Election Board has approved several last-minute changes to the election process despite opposition from Republican state officials and local election officials.

Tensions on the board are growing as Republican members hint that their work is not done and criticize those who question their motives.

On this week’s episode of “Plugged In: A WABE Politics Podcast,” politics reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali discuss the new rules and what else could happen between now and election day.

Plus, former President Donald Trump rallies in Savannah, two presidential candidates are disqualified from Georgia’s ballot and a conversation about American politics with German journalist Laura Goudkamp, who has been working at WABE as part of the Burns Fellowship.
