Three Republicans on Georgia's state election board voted to reinvestigate the 2020 election -- despite being cautioned by a colleague that their actions could be illegal. "I do want to caution this board that we are putting this board in legal jeopardy by approving that motion," said Georgia State Election Board Chairman John Fervier.
Here's what they did first...
"Georgia gave local officials significant new powers over the certification of elections results Tuesday, a move that could delay or derail future postelection certification processes.
In a 3-2 vote, the Republican-controlled State Election Board voted to define the certification of election results as "attest[ing], after reasonable inquiry, that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the election results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election."
The rule does not define "reasonable inquiry," which means that different counties will most likely interpret the rule differently. It's expected to allow county election boards to request information and potentially delay or block certification of results if they see fit.
And the resulting delays could block the timely reporting of election results to state and federal authorities.
Local certification of election results was once a routine ministerial process.
But after the 2020 vote, President Donald Trump and his allies sought to block the process, arguing that officials have discretion to delay or block certification and hoping to use state and county officials to overturn the results.

Since then, a handful of counties around the country have pursued or toyed with the idea of not certifying elections, though those efforts have all failed " typically after state courts intervened. "
