Georgia's highest court has ruled that over 3,000 absentee ballots might not be counted if they are received after election day, despite an error by local election officials.

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that all Cobb County absentee ballots must be received by the time polls close at 7pm on Tuesday.

Any ballots that are received after that time will be held until the case can be fully litigated.

The Georgia Supreme Court overruled a Cobb County judge who had extended the deadline until 5pm on Friday, to compensate for the delay in sending out the ballots.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Georgia Republican Party had appealed that decision to the Georgia Supreme Court, arguing that the Cobb County judge's deviation from election rules is "baseless."

"The Plaintiffs claim a burden on their right to vote, but the Georgia Constitution does not guarantee a right to vote by mail. Voters still have many options to vote, including by voting in person or delivering their absentee ballots in person," their appeal stated.

Republicans are absolute dog s^&*.

Don't ever listen to one ever again when they claim to be a patriot who loves the Constitution.

No. They hate when democrats vote. Sure they would prefer direct installation of presidents forever, but as long as only the right people vote it's ... ... . Okay.

The decision at this time isn't really final.

The ballots are only being held until a final decision is made...and with 8 GOP Justices on the Georgia Supreme Court, they are waiting to see if the ballots will make a difference before deciding.
