American Oversight Files Emergency Motion to Prevent Illegal Georgia State Election Board Rules from Taking Effect
Today, nonpartisan watchdog organization American Oversight filed a motion for an interlocutory injunction and a temporary restraining order against the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) for violating the state’s Open Meetings Act by holding a rushed meeting on July 12, during which it approved two controversial rules without legally required public notice or a quorum.
Statement from American Oversight Interim Executive Director Chioma Chukwu:
“The illegal rules approved by three rogue board members — reportedly acting at the behest of Republican Party operatives — could wreak havoc this November as anti-democratic actors seek to sway results in favor of their preferred candidates by undermining trust in our elections.“Without immediate court intervention, Georgia voters and election workers will be deprived of their right to shape rules that impact their ability to safely participate in free and fair elections. We trust the court will recognize the urgency and prevent the rules from advancing, protecting Georgians from irreparable harm.”
On July 18, American Oversight filed a lawsuit against the SEB in Fulton County Superior Court seeking, among other things, injunctive and declaratory relief as well as civil penalties against board members Rick Jeffares, Janelle King, and Janice Johnston for their knowing and willful violations of the Open Meetings Act.
