New rules in Georgia that some officials fear could inject chaos into November’s election have links to a controversial group that has gained outsized influence in the Peach State.
VoterGA, a nonprofit led by a computer consultant-turned-activist named Garland Favorito who has a long history of promoting debunked conspiracy theories, has made inroads with some election officials in Georgia despite his penchant for pushing election misinformation. The new rules, proposed by followers of VoterGA and passed by the state’s Republican-held election board, include a requirement that counties hand-count ballots cast at polling places on Election Day.
, wrote in an email obtained by CNN that Favorito had “defamed” his group in that letter. Doss has argued that last-minute rule changes could place undue pressure on election workers. The state election board, which has burst into the limelight this year with a new Republican majority, approved the rules, though Democrats have sued to block them. A Georgia judge signaled last week that he sees a need to clarify the new certification rule.
