ACLU Sues Georgia For Rejecting Absentee Ballots Without Proper Notice

Yet another lawsuit has been filed against Georgia election officials, this one claiming that officials are giving insufficient notice to absentee voters that their ballots are being rejected because their signatures do not match their signatures within other state records.

The complaint is seeking a court order allowing voters whose absentee ballots are rejected due to an alleged signature mismatch to address the issue up until three days after Election Day or three days after they receive a notification of the rejected ballot (whichever is later).

The complaint also requests that those whose applications for absentee ballots are rejected due to an alleged signature mismatch be given until the Friday before the election to address the issue.

Kemp also faces a lawsuit for the state’s “exact match” voter registration law, that puts voter registrations on hold for discrepancies between application forms and state records as minor as a misplaced hyphen.
