The Georgia Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled that Fulton County voters have standing to sue their local government regarding a lawsuit requesting to unseal ballots from the 2020 presidential election.
The decision gives new life to the suit, the combination of two enjoined suits, after a Henry County Superior Court judge in October 2021 dismissed Favorito v. Wan, one of two suits that was enjoined in an appeal by Fulton voters.
