A federal judge in Georgia has ruled against reopening voter registration for the upcoming November elections despite recent disruptions caused by Hurricane Helene. The judge stated that there would be no extension to the registration deadline, which had passed the previous Monday.
The lawsuit, filed by three groups including the Georgia NAACP, argued that the hurricane had unfairly deprived people of the opportunity to register to vote. However, the judge found that the groups did not provide enough evidence to prove harm to their members due to the hurricane-related disruptions.
