Discussion: Georgia Dem Lawsuit Alleges Some Absentee Ballots Were Sent Out Too Late

but at least 65 of the state’s 159 counties didn’t send out absentee ballots for the runoff until this week,

Talk about burying the lede. California has 58 counties and 40 million people. Georgia has 159 counties and 10 million people. County clerks are notorious for running side businesses and grifty behavior. The nonfeasance of clerks in this instance hardly surprises as lower turnout supports a GOP victory. Self-interest in action (inaction?).

So Voters are responsible for errors the State Elections office make?

Just another way of committing voter fraud!

When government officials decide to not be flexible and do a simple logical thing they already have the mechanism for (because of military ballots) it is obvious they are putting their finger on the scale, and this is no doubt only one way they did it. Particularly of course in a state with a hundred year plus record of doing everything possible to not allow a large percentage of its citizens to vote.

Lie, cheat, steal and repression…all the rethugs have going for them

Reprehensible. Blaming the voters !!!

A day or two is plausible, even if it was known long before certification that that race was headed for a runoff. A week?

It’s a sign of the state’s corruption that they’re not (yet) bothering to ask for criminal sanctions as well.
