In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential race, elections press conferences in the Georgia State Capitol were nationally televised events, as officials defended their work and pushed back on baseless fraud claims.

On Wednesday in Atlanta, Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer for the Georgia secretary of state, rolls a 10-sided die as part of process to determine which batches of ballots to audit for a statewide risk limiting audit of the 2022 general election.

Unlike the 2020 presidential race, no losing candidate claimed they lost due to fraud. In-person early voting records were shattered with few reported issues, Election Day turnout was light and elections officials were able to do their jobs without harassment or concerns about safety. Fulton County is Georgia's most populous county and its most targeted, with threats and conspiracies following the 2020 election, as allies of former President Donald Trump zeroed in on several debunked claims about vote counting and election workers as purported evidence that Trump's defeat was actually a victory. Even before the chaos of the presidential election, Fulton was a frequent target of complaints about long lines, equipment issues and delayed election results.

That year's presidential race in Georgia was counted three separate times in as many weeks, and lies about the outcome and voting process led to threats, harassment and a sweeping election law change that altered many aspects of how officials do their jobs.Under the new state law SB 202, counties were allowed to process absentee ballots earlier and required to count them quicker.

And it used to be very uneventful, Pitts said, but in a good way: where voters approached her with questions about registration issues and candidates on the ballot instead of mistrust and accusations of fraud; where candidates who lose move on, instead of attacking the system; and where she felt safe doing her job.

A return to pre-2020 election normalcy in Georgia also means lawsuits, though their focus once again returns to ballot access issues instead of conspiracies and nebulous claims of fraud.a judge on Friday
