Federal Judge Rejects Challenge to Georgia Voting Law | 7 July 2021 | A federal judge in Georgia declined to block portions of the recently passed Georgia election law after an organization filed a legal challenge that sought to invalidate parts of the mandate. The Coalition for Good Governance, a left-leaning group that describes itself as an election security group, opposed the Election Integrity Act of 2021 s provision that voters request absentee ballots at least 11 days ahead of Election Day. But U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, in ruling against the petition, said he wouldn t change the law in the ninth inning in reference to ongoing runoff elections for seats in the Georgia state House.
