In a series of recent events, Georgia judges have consistently rejected lawsuits from the GOP aimed at blocking counties from accepting hand-returned mail ballots. These rulings affirm that voters can indeed submit their mail-in ballots by hand despite Republican claims of election integrity violations. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed lawsuits against various Georgia counties, alleging election irregularities, particularly in strong Democratic areas. In contrast, some GOP officials have expressed concerns over the acceptance of paper ballots after in-person early voting, threatening further legal action, especially against Fulton County, known for its Democratic leanings. Amidst these tensions, GOP leaders continue to push for more stringent election oversight.
