Less than two months before the election, the Trump-aligned majority on the Georgia State Election Board passed a new set of eleventh-hour rule changes on Friday that could plunge the vote counting process into chaos and give Republicans yet another pretext not to certify the results if Kamala Harris wins the state. During a highly contentious meeting, the state board voted 3-2 to require county election boards to hand count ballots cast on Election Day and then compare the results to the totals tallied by electronic voting machines to reconcile any discrepancies.

    “There’s a real possibility that Kamala Harris wins the presidency and Democrats lose the Senate in November – in which case she’ll almost surely run into trouble stocking a Cabinet and the courts,” Semafor reports. “Republicans are already vowing to block progressive nominees Harris might choose, push her Supreme Court picks to the right and potentially stop some of her lifetime judicial appointments, if they win back the Senate and she defeats Donald Trump – a split presidential-year election outcome that hasn’t happened for decades.” “Many in the GOP are in a fighting mood after seeing President Joe Biden push his nominees through over the past several years, thanks to a slim Senate Democratic majority.” Related for members: Manchin and Sinema Could Get One Last Power Grab
