Anna Bower: “Many Americans are alarmed by eleventh-hour rule changes adopted by Georgia’s State Election Board—and rightly so. But many misunderstand where the danger lies.”
“The new rules, which add steps to the process of counting and certifying election results, could cause delays and promote lawlessness by county officials who do not like the outcome of the election. But they will not, as I’ve written for Lawfare, allow Donald Trump to steal the presidency. The problem they create is a political one: sparking postelection chaos, misinformation, and possibly even political violence. That alone makes them immensely valuable to Trump—and potentially destructive to American democracy.”
