Quick Glance: Democrats Challenge New Election Rules in Georgia
- The lawsuit from the Democratic Party of Georgia and other plaintiffs contests new election rules from the Georgia State Election Board that may jeopardize the certification of legitimate election results.

- Democrats are determined to block the new regulations, viewed as a strategic attempt to undermine the election results in November.

propublica.org/article/realpage-lawsuit-doj-antitrustdoj-files-antitrust-suit-against-maker-of-rent-setting-algorithm
Quick Glance: Justice Department Sues RealPage Over Antitrust Violations
- The Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage Inc., alleging that the company orchestrates a scheme enabling landlords to collude on rental price hikes. The lawsuit was filed in conjunction with attorneys general from states such as North Carolina and California.
- According to the lawsuit, RealPage's algorithm allows landlords to synchronize their pricing, effectively stifling competition that typically helps keep rents lower. A RealPage executive was quoted stating that collaboration among landlords benefits the industry more than competition does.
- State attorneys general contend that RealPage's use of confidential data from its clients goes beyond utilizing publicly available information. This practice is characterized as a form of illegal price collusion facilitated by artificial intelligence rather than traditional in-person agreements.
- This lawsuit is indicative of the Biden administration's robust antitrust enforcement efforts, which have recently targeted companies like Apple and Ticketmaster. Furthermore, lawmakers such as Senator Amy Klobuchar and Vice President Kamala Harris have advocated for stricter regulations against collusion among corporate landlords.

Georgia Counties May Get More Say in Delaying Vote Certification: On Monday, the GOP-controlled State Election Board is poised to adopt the rule ...
propublica.org/article/georgia-election-board-vote-certification
Quick Glance: Election Certification: A Troubling Scenario
- Efforts to undermine election certification have intensified since the last presidential election. Historical parallels indicate that attempts to contest election results were made in the 1960s but ultimately failed. Today, however, such tactics have become more systematic among Republicans, with local election boards in many states being filled with allies supporting Trump's false claims of election fraud.
- Recently, Georgia introduced a rule allowing election officials to delay or refuse the certification of results, which could lead to legal challenges. In a scenario where the presidential election is too close to call, such delays and the stirring of confusion through unverified problems in various counties could create a political nightmare.
- The possibility that one or more states might fail to deliver official results could prevent the presidential election from proceeding as usual. This may necessitate a vote in the newly elected House of Representatives, significantly altering the political landscape. Republicans have strategically prepared for such scenarios to manipulate democratic processes.
- Public vigilance and awareness of local election board activities are crucial to preventing potential manipulation. While challenges to maintaining democratic processes are significant, an informed and engaged citizenry can make a critical difference in ensuring that elections remain fair and transparent.
