Georgia: Federal judge issues injunction in absentee ballot rejections, but Kemp wants postponement

A federal judge issued an injunction Thursday barring elections officials in Gwinnett County, and elsewhere across Georgia, from rejecting absentee ballots because signatures on the ballots don’t match those on file for the affected voters.

U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May issued the injunction after giving attorneys for civil rights groups and residents who filed the complaint, as well as those representing the Gwinnett County Board of Elections and Secretary of State Brian Kemp an opportunity to weigh in on it.

...

Attorneys for Kemp and the state were quick to ask the federal court to postpone the injunction issued by May until an Appeals Court can rule on it.

Kemp is appealing it? What an asshole! Everyone in Georgia, please vote Stacey Abrams! Keep Kemp out of the governor's mansion!
