Democrats ask judge to force Georgia’s GOP governor to purge Trump’s allies from ‘rogue’ elections board

Democrats in Georgia have filed a lawsuit against three Trump allies on the state elections board, which has recently moved to require several changes to election procedures in the state.

The suit was led by state senator Nabilah Islam Parkes and alleges that the three election board members violated the law when they pushed through a round of changes.

Democrats say these will allow local election officials to unilaterally decline to certify the results of elections, doing so at an allegedly illegal meeting. They further allege that this could cause delays in Georgia reporting its results in the upcoming election.

“Georgia's Election Board has been hijacked by extreme MAGA operatives, changing election rules to help Trump. State law is clear, Kemp has a duty to act, but he's abdicated responsibility. If the governor won't stop MAGA from hijacking our election, a judge will force him to,” Islam Parkes said on Wednesday.

She added: “The Governor must do his job and convene a hearing to start the process in removing these rogue State Election Board members who are violating the law.”

The latest legal action follows a lawsuit filed in August against the state elections board for the same reason filed by the state Democratic Party of Georgia along with Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign and the national Democratic Party.

The latest suit filed Wednesday by Islam Parkes and her allies seeks to force the state’s GOP governor to begin the process which could result in the removal of the three GOP members accused of violating the law.
