Election officials in Cobb County, Georgia — one of the top battleground counties in the 2024 presidential election, per U.S. News — are scrambling to deliver more than 3,000 absentee ballots past the state’s Oct. 25 deadline, prompting lawsuits from the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Party of Georgia and civil rights groups.

“Plaintiffs and more than 3,000 other lawfully registered Cobb County voters are on the brink of disenfranchisement in the November 5 election because the Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration was unable to issue their absentee ballots on time,” a complaint reads from the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Georgia and Southern Poverty Law Center, which was filed on Friday in Cobb County Superior Court.
