Washington, Nov. 5, (dpa/GNA) – US President Donald Trump’s campaign and Republicans in Georgia have filed a lawsuit in the state, marking Trump’s third legal challenge around vote counting.
The lawsuit asks a judge to order Democratic-leaning Chatham County in Georgia to “secure” and store ballots that were received after 7 pm on Election Day.
The lawsuit alleges that a county worker added mail-in ballots that were not “properly processed” with other ballots, raising concerns that some ballots received after 7 pm could be intermixed.
In Georgia, all ballots must be received by 7 pm on Election Day to be counted.
Georgia has not yet been called for either Trump or his rival Joe Biden.
