The Georgia State Election Board passed a controversial measure Friday requiring local precincts to conduct hand counts for the November election and confirm the figures match machine counts before certifying election results.
The rule was one of several proposals under consideration Friday as three Trump-approved Republican members – who have made up the board's majority since May – continue to entertain a flurry of proposals to change the state's election processes in the final months before November. Those three members passed the rule despite being advised by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, that the board would likely be unlawfully usurping the power of the state legislature, according to board Chairman John Fervier.
"We know the legislature is not shy of passing laws," Fervier said. "This board needs to take seriously the guidance that we've received from the attorney general, from the secretary of state's office, and from the election professionals across the state."
Election board member Janelle King, who backed the rule, accused Fervier of "welcoming lawsuits" – which she said will be dismissed – through his comments.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly praised King and two of her fellow board members, Janice Johnston and Rick Jeffares, as "pit bulls" fighting for "victory."
USA TODAY obtained a copy of Carr's Thursday-dated letter to the board, in which he said the hand-counting rule is "likely the precise type of impermissible legislation that agencies cannot do."
More generally, Carr said any new rules about how to conduct elections "are disfavored when implemented as close to an election as the rules on the September 20 agenda." 11 proposed rules were on the board's agenda ahead of Friday.
The Georgia Association of Voter Registration and Election Officials, a nonpartisan group of more than 500 Georgia officials and staff, also expressed concern in a Tuesday letter about many of the last-minute proposals.
