My summary
3 Republican members of the State Elections Board held an emergency meeting to approve 2 new rules which appear to be from the RNC and Republican Georgia Congress members. This meeting was held against the advice of the state attorney generals office (Republican).
The first rule requires county boards to post daily online ballot counts on their websites.
The second rule increases the number of partisan poll monitors observing ballot counting at Georgia tabulation centers.
This is absolutely being done as a way to question the results and cause delay of counting.

This shit makes me glad that there’s a constitutional amendment specifying that the inauguration must take place at noon on January 20th.
I assume the Republicans will only try to delay the inevitable if they lose. They can file as many lawsuits and motions as they want. If Harris wins, she’s being inaugurated in January. Period. Even the shitty Supreme Court we’re currently saddled with won’t try to delay a date and time that’s clearly spelled out. Angry Republicans can try to reverse it, but good luck with that.

Given that Georgia saved the union last election, not surprised...

Black people came in clutch. I hope they show up again in massive numbers.

Having a schedule is important, but so is the agenda.
I can tell you when Council is meeting 3 years from now because it's already in the schedule. But if I don't post the agenda by the Friday before the meeting we can't discuss anything.
Heck - I had a typo on the agenda regarding date of a previous meeting for which the Planning and Zoning Commission would be certifying, so we had to pull the item and next month we'll have to approve 2 sets of minutes.
This is also why you see so videos of local officials silent when there's an impassioned speaker grilling them in public comments. If a citizen does up to a meeting to make comments on something that's not on the agenda, the officials literally aren't allowed to respond.

Here it comes. This election is going to be full of bullshit like this.
Almost makes you wish we had a Federal Government that actually did its job, no?
Makes me wish we had an impartial Supreme Court instead of one purchased by billionaires.
How when close to half of it wants unironic fascist dictatorship?
The seditionists need to be removed, there are sitting Congressmen who actively supported the Jan6 coup. How can we have a functioning government when regressives just stew in their own shit and refuse everything?
The state seems to be serving the rich and privileged quite well as it was designed.
It's not just the election that's bullshit. It's the state in general.
