In Georgia, the Republican-dominated state board of elections has ordered local boards to conduct "a reasonable inquiry" before certifying election results. There is no new funding or staff accompanying the order. Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says that this new rule is illegal if it conflicts with state law requiring that county boards certify election results by November 12 (one week after election day). Local boards in Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada have refused to certify elections in the past and are organizing to resist deadlines.
