The Georgia Republican Party has threatened to sue Fulton County over its plans to extend absentee voting in the upcoming midterm elections. Fulton County is one of the most populous counties in Georgia and is considered a Democratic stronghold. The GOP argues that extending absentee voting would lead to increased voter fraud. However, Fulton County officials have defended their decision, saying that it is necessary to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots. The lawsuit is likely to be the latest in a series of legal challenges to voting rights in Georgia.
