Overview
- U.S. District Judge Ashley Royal dismissed the Justice Department's case for being filed in the wrong district, ruling it belongs in Atlanta rather than Macon.
- The dismissal was without prejudice, so the DOJ can refile in the Northern District of Georgia to pursue its demand for detailed voter data.
- Georgia's secretary of state says he provided the public voter roll and removal practices and refuses to release birth dates, driver’s license numbers, and Social Security numbers under state law.
- A Georgia Senate Ethics Committee advanced a party-line, nonbinding resolution urging Raffensperger to hand over the unredacted voter list, including sensitive identifiers.
- Raffensperger's office declined to appear before the committee citing ongoing litigation, as Lt. Gov. Burt Jones intensifies attacks rooted in incorrect claims about 2020 Fulton County ballots.
