A federal judge on Monday ordered election officials to review thousands of provisional ballots that havent been counted in Georgias close election for governor.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenbergs order calls for a hotline for voters to check if their provisional ballots were counted, a review of voter registrations, and updated reports from the state government about why many voters were required to use provisional ballots.
The court decision comes as votes are still being counted in the race for governor between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp. Abrams trails Kemp and would need to gain more than 20,000 additional votes to force a runoff election.
Totenberg said shes providing limited, modest relief to help protect voters. The order preserves Tuesdays deadline for county election offices to certify results and the Nov. 20 deadline for Secretary of State Robyn Crittenden to certify the election. The ruling enjoins Crittenden from certifying the election before Friday at 5 p.m.
Her ruling applies to provisional ballots, which were issued to as many as 27,000 Georgia voters because their registration or identification couldnt be verified. Provisional ballots are usually only counted if voters prove their eligibility within three days of the election, a deadline that passed Friday.
The decision doesnt say whether additional provisional ballots could be counted after election results are certified at the county level Tuesday.

I believe it is unlawful to register to vote under the age of 18, even back then.
Lol. Not.
No really. It’s against the law to register to vote under the age of 18.
Its not illegal now or then.

I’m from CA. We had to be 18. MS must be a different animal.
I believe you.

You can register at 17 in California as well.
Maybe now. Not back in 1978 when I turned 18.
We need a ruling from Scotus which basically nullifies provisional ballots as illegal.
What standing does Federal Judge Amy Totenberg have to make a ruling on a state race?
We will see.
Incredible.
Afghanistan has cleaner, more efficient elections that we do.
Why review them as the deadline for including these ballots has passed.
Just keep counting anything until the Dem wins. Then stop counting. Why? Because all the provisional votes are illegally manufactured anyway.
Here's an important fact that everyone missed. I'm sure she's strictly nonpartisan, though. / bitter sarc

With oversight I hope. Not like broward’s behind closed doors crap.
