RNC Sues Georgia Counties for Accepting Weekend Ballots and Not Allowing GOP Poll Watchers

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley announced Saturday that the organization’s election integrity wing has filed a lawsuit against Georgia counties.

“Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties decided at the last minute to accept ballots over the weekend, ignoring the law,” Whatley wrote in the social media platform, X.

“They also did not let our election observers enter to observe the process,” he added. “The Secretary of State has issued guidance to allow Republican poll watchers in, but local officials REFUSE. Our election integrity operation has filed a lawsuit.”

Whatley said Democratic officials are playing “fast and loose” with election law.

“Georgia voters demand that the state and the courts ensure that these reckless counties administer fair, transparent and secure elections,” Whatley said. “Anything less undermines public trust.”

This is not the first time Peach State counties have been sued this year in connection with elections.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Southern Poverty Law Center are suing a Georgia county over allegations that it failed to mail out approximately 3,000 absentee ballots. on a requested deadline.
