A Georgia judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by former U.S. Sen. David Perdue.
The lawsuit alleged that fraudulent or counterfeit ballots were counted in Fulton County during the 2020 general election. Perdue filed the lawsuit in December, a few days after he announced that he would be challenging Gov. Brian Kemp in the Republican primary.
Among other things, the suit wanted access to examine absentee ballots. The lawsuit also asked the court to issue a series of orders that would empower the petitioners’ experts to “intrude upon the sealed ballot materials of tens of thousands of Fulton County voters, hunt for speculative voter fraud or error, and then determine for themselves what the ‘actual’ vote count should have been in the Election,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote in an order.
“This quixotic journey will not take place,” he added.
Perdue vowed to appeal.
