GA: Republicans appeal judge’s ruling striking down controversial new election rules

Source: CNN

“State and national Republicans on Thursday appealed a Georgia judge’s ruling striking down a slate of controversial new election rules passed by Donald Trump allies, including two related to the state’s election certification process that Democrats say would inject ‘chaos’ into the critical battleground state after Election Day. Attorneys for the Republican National Committee and Georgia Republican Party appealed the ruling directly to the Georgia Supreme Court, which has the authority to review election contest cases or certain state constitutional challenges without having to wait for the state’s intermediate court to weigh in. The state Supreme Court has the option of refusing the direct appeal.” (10/17/24)
