Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline. We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court.
We just got word that we WON the case. Election Day is Election Day — not the week…

Election Day is Election Day — not the week after.
We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates.
The RNC has been both rapid AND rabid in its response to combat election fraud and interference, especially in the key battleground states. As RedState reported, along with the goings-on in Cobb County, the RNC has also lodged lawsuits against other Georgia counties, the majority Democrat strongholds. Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Athens-Clarke, Clayton, and Chatham Counties have attempted to count ballots illegally and bar Republican poll watchers from their offices. Democrat-run Cobb County unlawfully changed the rules to accept 3,000 absentee ballots after the designated Election Day deadline.

In a notable move to ensure the franchise remains accessible, Cobb County has taken an extraordinary step to accommodate voters who've been inadvertently caught in a snafu with absentee ballots. A judge's order from the county courthouse this past Friday has extended the return deadline for a specific group of voters, identified as "Affected Voters," allowing for their ballots to be counted in the upcoming election. If you applied for an absentee ballot by October 25 and it wasn't mailed out by October 30, this includes you. Determining your status as an Affected Voter can be easily done by visiting the Cobb County Elections website.
The ACLU of Georgia even got involved, filing a countersuit to try to include the absentee ballots in the election vote count.
We, the @ACLU, and @splcenter have filed an emergency lawsuit to safeguard the voting rights of more than 3,000 Cobb County voters who have not received their absentee ballots. https://t.co/U7rcOExvAG pic.twitter.com/ElBK7IGfMu

But the RNC gave no quarter, and they ensured the integrity of the vote on election day. The RNC has promised that they will not stop fighting until every legal vote is secured and counted. RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump posted on X that their Election Integrity arm has deployed 230,000 poll observers and poll workers across every state, along with 500 attorneys to every battleground state, as my colleague Brandon Morse reported.
"Our message is crystal clear: DO NOT CHEAT," Lara Trump wrote. "If you do, we will find you and prosecute you to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW."
