Federal and state Republican lawmakers in Georgia filed a federal lawsuit claiming that several Democratic-leaning counties in the Peach State illegally kept election offices open over the weekend to allow citizens to hand-deliver their mail-in absentee ballots.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the state Republican Party are being represented in the matter by attorney Alex B. Kaufman, who previously sat in on then-President Donald Trump’s now infamous 2021 call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during which Trump implored Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes to help him win the state from Joe Biden. Kaufman later said that he played “no role” in the conversation and did not represent any of the parties involved in the call.

The lawsuit, filed Sunday in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, claims that seven Georgia counties allowed voters to drop off their mail-in ballots over the weekend after the state’s early voting period ended on Friday. Such conduct amounted to an “illegal change of voting deadlines,” according to the complaint.
