A U.S. judge has rejected a request by the Georgia Republican Party to dismiss hand-delivered absentee ballots
On Tuesday, United States Federal Judge Stan Baker rejected a request by the Georgia Republican Party to reject absentee ballots that had been handed over in several counties. The Republican party had accused the counties of illegally accepting ballots after early voting ended, but Judge Baker called it "critical" of counties that allowed voters to cast ballots over the weekend, arguing that the extended voting time did not constitute a "material difference."
