Janelle King, a Republican member of the Georgia State Election Board, has defended the controversial new election rules in the state, stating that the board is focused on 'cleaning up' the process. King emphasized that the changes are aimed at preventing future problems rather than fixing existing issues.
The new rules, passed less than 90 days before the general election, grant county election boards the authority to conduct a 'reasonable inquiry' before certifying election results and allow members of county election boards to investigate ballot counts. These rules have faced criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, with concerns raised about potential post-election chaos.
