CNN reported that Supreme Court Judge Thomas Cox of Fulton County, Georgia, said on October 16 (US time) that there were some provisions recently passed by the State Board of Elections in this state "problematic". The first provision requires the number of ballots to be counted by hand after the voting process ends, while the other two provisions are related to the certification of election results. "The court declares the above provisions illegal, unconstitutional and void," Judge Thomas Cox said during the hearing.

According to CNN, a series of new provisions recently passed by the Georgia State Board of Elections, controlled by the Republican Party, although not giving election officials the power to decide, has a provision "allowing them to conduct a reasonable investigation of the election results before certifying." However, this has raised concerns among Democrats that the above provision will give election officials the right to delay or completely reject the certification of the results. It is known that the state of Georgia currently holds 16 electoral votes, and these votes are very important to both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. In the 2020 presidential election, former US President Donald Trump lost this state to Democratic candidate Joe Biden with 49.24% and 49.47% of the votes, equivalent to 11,770 votes, leading to many controversies surrounding the election results here.
