UPDATE: A federal judge in Georgia denied the plaintiffs request for emergency relief, ensuring that all valid absentee ballots turned in through the Election Day deadline will be counted. 

The League of Women Voters of Georgia, Georgia State Conference of the NAACP, and Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda filed an amicus brief in Republican National Committee v. Mahoney to ensure that absentee ballots received over the weekend are counted. 

The League of Women Voters of the United States denounces any political leaders and candidates using language that invokes violence.

For the past two months, a team of 13 League members was very busy, working in pairs to educate the community about the ballot measures to be decided in the November election.
