‘These actions by some counties do nothing but undermine the security of our elections and drive up mistrust in the process’
By Joe Kovacs
The 2024 campaign of former President Trump and JD Vance is joining the Republican National Committee and Georgia GOP in filing lawsuits Sunday in state and federal court challenging several Georgia counties that are allegedly “illegally remaining open over the weekend to receive absentee ballots after early voting ended.”
“Early voting was required to end statewide on Friday, Nov. 1,” the campaign indicated. “At the last minute several heavily Democrat counties announced they would open their offices over the weekend to receive mail ballots. This is illegal, so we immediately filed a state court lawsuit.”
Defendants named include officials in seven Georgia counties: Chatham, Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton and Clarke.
