A Henry County judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to overturn the runoff elections that gave Democrats control of the U.S. Senate.
The lawsuit aimed to void the election of Georgia’s Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the U.S. Senate. But Superior Court Judge Brian Amero rejected the effort at a hearing Monday.
It’s the latest failure in a series of unsuccessful lawsuits that challenged Democratic victories in Georgia, including President Joe Biden’s narrow victory over former President Donald Trump.
The latest lawsuit contested the Senate election results and sought a new election to be conducted on paper ballots.
The plaintiff, Fulton County resident Michael Daugherty, said the senate election was marred by misconduct, raising doubts that Warnock and Ossoff were the true winners. He cited allegations of improper ballot counting at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on election night in November. Those allegations were investigated and debunked by the Secretary of State’s Office.
Among other things, he also said the state’s Dominion Voting System machines did not accurately record the results — claims that election officials say are false and have led to defamation lawsuits against some of the attorneys who have spread them.
The defendants in the lawsuit included Warnock and Ossoff, as well as Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the State Election Board, and election boards in Fulton, DeKalb and Coffee counties.
In court briefs and arguments, they said Daugherty’s arguments have already been rejected by judges in other lawsuits. They said the problems he cited occurred in November, not during the January runoff. They argued the election challenge was filed too late and that the lawsuit was not properly served on Warnock and Ossoff.
On Monday, Amero agreed the challenge was not filed in time and that the senators were not properly served.
At a press conference after the hearing, Daugherty vowed to appeal the judge’s ruling.

Sorry. Will pray for the appeal.
Thanks for posting.
That’s ok; I had totally forgotten about it until you asked.
Texas House Democrats’ walkout costing taxpayers $43,000 a day
State Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday reiterated what Gov. Greg Abbott has pledged: Democrats who left the state to break quorum can be arrested as soon as they return to Texas.
The more than 60 Texas House Democrats who walked out of a special legislative session could be costing taxpayers up to $43,000 a day, one lawmaker estimates.
Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan has demanded that the truant Democrats return the $221 a day they earn during a legislative session. These per diem payments, combined with the regular salary they would normally receive, if it were to be restored, costs taxpayers $7,230 per legislator during the 30 days of the special session while they remain in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Jared Patterson (R-Frisco) estimates that the Democratic standstill is costing taxpayers $43,000 a day. On top of this, their staff members are not being paid.
The Democratic lawmakers boarded chartered private planes July 12 to Washington, D.C., where they remain. The charter flights cost $100,000.
The Democrats’ trip was paid for by Powered By People, an election group run by former Rep. Beto O’Rourke. The group has raised more than $500,000 as of last week.
Some have vowed to stay in Washington, D.C., for the rest of the special session, which lasts for 30 days, through Aug. 11. However, even if they remain outside of Texas for the entire special session, Abbott said he will call another 30-day session in August and continue to do so until the legislature finishes its job. Only the governor can call a special session. He can call concurrent special sessions as many times as he wants, according to the state constitution.
