||
| Case Summary | Plaintiffs, Georgia voters, filed suit against defendants, members of County Boards of Elections, the Secretary of State, and the Governor. Plaintiffs alleged that during the election voters were recorded as having voted absentee even though they voted in person and did not register absentee, that voter registration exceeded 100%, and that non-citizens voted. Plaintiffs sought to exclude counties with any irregularities from the state's overall vote total, on the grounds that such counties' inclusion dilutes plaintiffs' votes. | |
