Georgia's Supreme Court rejected a Republican-led effort to implement more than half a dozen controversial new election rules before Election Day. In a brief order issued Tuesday, the court declined to reinstate the seven new rules implemented by the State Election Board,

The Georgia Supreme Court won’t let the state election board enforce a slate of controversial new election rules that were passed by allies of Donald Trump, ruling Tuesday against Republicans who asked for them to be revived as early voting got underway in the critical battleground state.

A decision blocking Republican-backed changes to election rules in Georgia will not be reviewed by the state's high court on an expedited basis, making the new rules unlikely to go into effect for the Nov.

Georgia's Supreme Court has rejected a Republican-led effort to reinstate seven new election rules, approved by the State Election Board, before Election Day as early voting is underway in the battleground state.

The Georgia Supreme Court has rejected an attempt by national and state Republicans to immediately reinstate recently passed election rules that a judge had ruled were invalid.

The decision is yet another legal setback for the state election board, which sought to implement an array of changes in the weeks and months before the November vote.

Georgia judges are picking apart controversial new election rules in the state as record-breaking amid early voting. The rules, imposed by Georgia’s Republican-led State Election Board, stood to upend election procedures in the weeks before Election Day.

A Georgia judge has declared that seven new election rules recently passed by the State Election Board are “illegal, unconstitutional and void.”

Georgia's top court declined on Tuesday to hear an expedited appeal by Republicans of a decision blocking a new rule that would have required poll workers to hand-count ballots, a change that voting rights groups warned could have caused chaos.

The Georgia Supreme Court rejected a last-minute push by the Republican Party to reinstate a set of new election rules that included, among other things, a requirement that ballots be hand-counted in the upcoming US presidential contest.
