Georgia Supreme Court Rules County County Cannot Count Absentee Ballots Received After Nov 5

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled Monday that Cobb County may not accept absentee ballots after Election Day.

Last Thursday, the Cobb County Board of Elections said that it had not sent out more than 3,000 absentee ballots in a timely manner and would mail them via express shipping or overnight delivery the next day, according to Democracy Docket. Three voters sued, arguing that there was not enough time to ensure the ballots would be received in time to be counted.
