Harris campaign celebrates defeat of new ballot security rules in Georgia

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is celebrating after the Georgia Supreme Court rejected Republicans' effort to reinstate a new slate of ballot security rules before Election Day.

"Donald Trump and his MAGA 'pit bulls' in Georgia have tried to create chaos in our elections and sow doubt in the result, but again and again, Democrats have stood strong to protect the votes of all Georgians," a joint statement from Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak, DNC rapid response director Alex Floyd, and Georgia Democrats communications director Dave Hoffman said on Tuesday night.

The "pit bulls" remark was in reference to the three members of Georgia's State Elections Board (SEB) who passed the rules change in a 3-2 vote last month. Former President Trump praised all three by name during a rally in Georgia in August, calling them "pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency and victory."

The Democrats' statement to Fox News Digital continued, "After more than 1 million Georgians have already voted, today's ruling means millions more will be able to do so knowing that Trump won't be able to interfere with the election results when he loses again."

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The statement came hours after the state Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Republican National Committee's (RNC) request for an expedited appeal of Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox's decision calling the SEB's new measures "illegal, unconstitutional, and void."
