Abrams team filing suit over absentee ballots in Ga. county

Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams’s campaign announced Thursday that it will file a lawsuit over absentee ballots in Dougherty County as the hotly contested governor’s race remains too close to call.
Kurt Kastorf, who is on Abrams’s legal team, told reporters at a press conference that a lawsuit will be filed later Thursday, claiming that absentee ballots in that county were mailed too slowly. He noted that the first delay was caused by an injunction, but were later delivered late due to Hurricane Michael.
Kastorf alleged other ballot issues in Dougherty County, including some voters who requested an absentee ballot and never received it as well as residents receiving ballots too late to return them by the deadline. The suit is asking the court to count all ballots, even if received late.
