AUGUSTA, Georgia An Augusta federal judge quickly dismissed a suit Thursday against Richmond County Board of Elections and the State Election Board alleging improper handling of ballots in the general election.
Chief District Judge J. Randall Hall said he agreed with the defendants that plaintiffs failed to establish standing in the case because they didn’t show specific harm to anyone.
“The court finds that those claims are simply based on speculation, highly speculative issues,” Hall said.
Filed by the 12th Congressional District Republican Committee and three voters, the suit contended elections officials failed to properly inspect signatures on absentee ballots and that the use of ballot drop boxes gave rise to ballot harvesting.
