Georgia Republicans Threaten Lawsuit Over Extended Election Office Hours

New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation U.S. presidential primary election is held at the Medallion Opera House in Gorham

Georgia Republicans have issued a threat to sue Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold, after the county announced extended hours for election offices on Friday. The decision to open four election offices over the weekend was made to accommodate voters who wish to hand-return their absentee ballots.

The Georgia GOP claims that this move violates state law, which stipulates that all drop boxes should be closed when the advance voting period ends. The party expressed concern that the locations of the election offices in Fulton County may favor Democratic candidates, potentially impacting the outcome of future elections.
