WASHINGTON - In a major victory for election integrity, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that ballots received after the Election Day deadline cannot be counted in Cobb County.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement on X: "HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia. Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline. We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court. We just got word that we WON the case. Election Day is Election Day — not the week after. We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates."

This victory comes on the heels of the 5th Circuit decision, which ruled that ballots received after Election Day may not be counted. These are critical decisions to Protect the Vote across the country.
