A Georgia judge rejected a Republican lawsuit over county election offices opening Saturday and Sunday to let voters return mail ballots in person.
A Georgia judge on Saturday rejected a Republican lawsuit trying to block counties from opening election offices on Saturday and Sunday to let voters hand in their mail ballots in person. The lawsuit only named Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold that includes most of the city of Atlanta and is home to 11% of the state’s voters.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kevin Farmer, in an online hearing, repeatedly rejected Kaufman's arguments before orally ruling against him. “I find that it is not a violation of those two code sections for a voter to hand-return their absentee ballots,' Farmer said. Republicans have been focused on the conduct of elections in Fulton County for years, after President Trump falsely blamed Fulton County workers for defrauding him of the 2020 election in Georgia.
