A judge in Dougherty County has ordered the county to accept absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by Friday.

So sue me, but if they are postmarked by Election Day, they should be counted. It works that way for tax returns postmarked by April 15th, so why not absentee ballots?

It’s probably about the Overseas Military Ballots that were postmarked on or before Election day.

Absentee ballot law in Georgia (as shown on the Georgia Secretary of State website):

A ballot must be received by the county registrar no later than the close of polls on Election Day.

The State of Georgia allows you to request an absentee ballot up to six months before Election Day. If you can't get it returned by Election Day, then tough sh!t.

It depends on what the law says, not what the hell you think.
