Episode description

A new rule approved by the Georgia State Election Board could open the door for local election boards to refuse to certify election results. The measure will go into effect ahead of the November presidential election.

On this week's episode of "Plugged In: A WABE Politics Podcast," political reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali discuss the new rule, which is just one sentence long, and how opponents worry it could have sweeping consequences this fall in a critical swing state if local election members, driven by unsupported claims of election fraud, use it to delay certifying the results or to reject them outright.

Plus, a look at how former president Donald Trump has reignited his feud with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
