Voters who were never mailed their absentee ballots filed a lawsuit Sunday asking a judge to require Cobb County to send ballots by overnight mail and extend the state’s deadline to return them.
The lawsuit comes after Cobb election officials acknowledged Friday that they failed to mail absentee ballots to 1,036 voters who had requested them.
Many of those voters, especially those who live outside the county, are now at risk of being unable to participate as Election Day approaches on Tuesday, according to the suit.
