    Trump Campaign Sues Fulton County, Georgia Over Ballot Deadline Violations, Citing Code Section 21-2-385 and Four Election Offices

    The Trump campaign has initiated a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, claiming that local election officials are violating state law by accepting ballots after the designated deadline. The lawsuit cites subsection (d) of Code Section 21-2-385 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which mandates that all drop boxes must be closed when the advance voting period concludes.

The lawsuit underscores ongoing tensions regarding election integrity as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
