Lawsuit dismissed! Absentee ballots can be counted in Savannah!!
Original report: Georgia GOP, Trump file lawsuit over ballot counting
The Georgia Republican Party and President Donald Trumps campaign filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging that Chatham County is improperly counting absentee ballots received after the states deadline.
The petition, filed in Chatham County Superior Court, was the third filed by the Trump campaign, all in states with close races where ballots were still being counted late Wednesday.
In Georgia, Trump held a small lead over Democratic candidate Joe Biden as tens of thousands of absentee ballots remained to be counted in metro Atlanta and Savannah.
The Georgia suit addresses how absentee ballots were stored and states that ballots received after 7 p.m. Tuesday should not be counted. A poll watcher claims he saw a poll worker handling ballots incorrectly.

Republican (and Democratic) lawyers are raking in the dough this week. At least ours are earning their keep.
