On December 4, 2020, the Trump Campaign filed a lawsuit challenging the outcome of the Presidential election contest in Georgia. The action was filed in Fulton County Superior Court. I wrote an article on the suit the day it was filed.
This was a contest I had been anticipating because it was specifically provided for in the Georgia election statutes, and it is not one where the Court would need to wrestle with jurisdictional issues such as “standing” by the parties, or timing issues such as “laches.” All the attention in Georgia up to that point were suits filed in federal court by Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, which had all manner of procedural and evidentiary deficiencies.
