The Georgia State Election Board recently approved a rule that could allow for local election boards to refuse certification of results. This all comes as the board is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly meeting illegally.
Marisa Pyle, the senior democracy defense manager at All Voting is Local Georgia, was a guest on Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
She talked with show host Rose Scott about her organization’s concerns with the policy proposals, and why they believe the board is moving to disenfranchise Georgians. She also talked about the radicalization of disinformation, election board turnover and the concerns she has about how the election board meetings are being conducted.
