Candidate-backed group sues Georgia over its election process

A political organization backed by Democrat Stacey Abrams filed a federal lawsuit to challenge the way Georgia’s elections are run, making good on a promise Abrams made as she ended her bid to become governor. State elections officials “grossly mismanaged” the election in a way that deprived some citizens, particularly low-income people and people of color, of their constitutional right to vote, the lawsuit says. It was filed by Fair Fight Action against interim Secretary of State Robyn Crittenden and state election board members.
