Top Georgia Republican asks Supreme Court to reject Trump election scheme
AlterNet • • nation
Key Points:
- Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger joined a bipartisan group of 38 current and former election officials from 10 states urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the Trump administration's plan to use the U.S. Postal Service for voter verification in the November election.
- The officials did not take a position on the legality of the plan but argued it is too late to implement the proposed system this year, as many states have already begun issuing ballots.
- They warned that rushing the implementation would likely cause mistakes, delays, and confusion for both voters and election workers, as election offices are already deeply engaged in preparations for the election.
- The brief was supported by numerous Republican officials, including secretaries of state from Kansas, Kentucky, and North Dakota, marking a notable bipartisan opposition to the Trump administration's efforts to control election rules.
- The group emphasized that ensuring a smooth election process cannot be responsibly achieved within the limited time remaining before November.
