Is MAGA-dominated state election board setting the stage for challenge to election if Trump loses?

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC elections reporter Mark Niesse joins the podcast to discuss how the MAGA-controlled state election board appears to be passing rules that could allow Donald Trump to challenge the results of the Georgia election is he loses the state. 

Then, the hosts discuss the conversation between Trump supporter Elon Musk and Trump on Musks’ platform X. Trump used the opportunity to attack Fulton County DA Fani Willis for her continuing effort to try him as part of a broader election conspiracy case. 

Plus, former Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has written a children’s book, extending his late wife Sandra’s deep commitment to raising literacy rates in the state. And Deal talks a little politics, too.
