A judge from Fulton County which includes Atlanta has dismissed a lawsuit by the Republican Party seeking to limit the use of voter drop boxes for Georgia’s two U.S. Senate runoff races saying the state has immunity from being sued, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday. Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams ruled she doesn’t have jurisdiction because of sovereign immunity that protects governments from lawsuits, the Journal-Constitution said. Republicans had argued that drop boxes should be limited to the same hours as county election offices, which typically close at 5 p.m. on weekdays. But an attorney for the Georgia secretary of state’s office said the state election board approved the boxes to be used at all hours.
Famed attorney Lin Wood sued the Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in November claiming that he unlawfully changed election law in March to settle a lawsuit by Georgia Democrats, something he said the state constitution expressly grants to the legislature. Incumbent Republicans Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are facing Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Jan. 5 runoffs after none of the candidates received more than 50% of the vote. While Perdue received only a few thousand votes shy of the 50% threshold, Warnock led Loeffler 33% to 26%. However, Loeffler and fellow Republican Doug Collins, plus four other Republicans in a race with 20 candidates, received a combined 49.3% of the vote compared to about 48.4% for Warnock and the next seven Democrats.

Our whole system is corrupt!
She also looks pretty darned stoned..
The state giving instelf immunity from the responsibility of following laws that apply to the state. Why am I not surprised anyomre?
Just another variation on the “No standing” CYA. No judge is going to stick their neck out for President TRump after seeing the GOP fully support the bipartisan steal.
The only reply that left will understand:
Torch all ballot collection boxes.
Agree, we know that most ? Republicans don’t care. We have a one party system. As long as the federal govt takes up trillions. It will be about them and not about the voters.
Here’s another hard truth: this ruling will be overturned, (government is not immune from charges of violation of their own laws), but!!! that appeals court ruling will not happen until around 21 January 2021. Count on it. Oh and the USSC will decline to intervene.
