On November 6, 2024, the Georgia Supreme Court upheld a Republican challenge against Cobb County's plan to count mail-in ballots that were received after Election Day. This decision comes amid a backdrop of intense scrutiny surrounding voting processes in the state.
Republicans initiated legal action to prevent the counting of hand-delivered ballots in Fulton County, which encompasses Atlanta. A state judge had previously ruled that the delivery of such ballots was permissible. However, Republicans escalated the matter to federal court, seeking to invalidate the counting of absentee ballots in seven counties, including Fulton, that were delivered by hand over the weekend and through Election Day.
The political landscape remains volatile as Americans head to the polls, with Trump's media venture experiencing significant fluctuations tied to electoral outcomes.
