Georgia Republicans, Trump campaign file lawsuit to halt counties ‘illegally accepting’ early voting ballots [Video]

Georgia Republicans and former President Trump’s campaign say that they are continuing to take legal action against “coordinated efforts” by Democrat-heavy counties to accept ballots after the early voting period ended. 

A statement from the Georgia Republican Party, which was obtained by FOX Business on Sunday, detailed the party’s latest efforts to stop counties from counting ballots that were hand-delivered over the weekend. 

The lawsuit names seven counties: Clayton County, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Fulton, Chatham and Athens-Clarke. Fulton County houses the capital of the state, Atlanta.

In the letter, chairman Josh McKoon claimed that these counties were “illegally accept[ing] ballots this weekend AFTER the end of early voting on Friday.”
