Georgia Judge has Dismissed Most of a Lawsuit seeking an Inspection of Fulton County's Absentee Ballots from the 2020 Presidential Election.

It's a potential Setback to the Republican-led effort to Undermine the Legitimacy of the Results in the State's Largest County, even though the Case will Proceed for the time being.

The Plaintiffs, who believe Counterfeit Ballots were Counted in the 2020 Election, have Pushed to use Microscopes to examine nearly 150,000 Absentee Ballots. They are seeking to Examine the Paper Stock, Creases, and Method, in which the Bubbles were Filled to determine if any Ballots are Counterfeit.

Even if the Audit Proceeds, it will Not Change Georgia's Election Results, which have already been Certified for President Joe Biden.

Henry County Superior Court Chief Judge, Brian Amero, on Thursday, Dismissed the Case against Fulton County, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, and the Fulton County Clerk judge. He said the Plaintiffs "have failed to meet their burden to show an applicable waiver of sovereign immunity such that their constitutional claims may proceed against these governmental actors in the petition's current form."

Sovereign immunity Laws Limit when Plaintiffs can go to the Courts for Relief.

"However," Amero wrote, "misjoinder of parties is not a ground for dismissal of an action. Parties may be dropped or added by order of the court on motion of any party or of its own initiative at any stage of the action and on such terms as are just."

"The judge agreed to allow the plaintiffs to add the five individual members of the Board of Elections as defendants, so the case will proceed, temporarily, against them," said Defense Attorney, Don Samuel, who is representing Fulton County.

"We will, however, promptly file a motion to dismiss them, because the members of the board are not alleged to have done anything wrong. Nothing. So, we believe the court will ultimately dismiss the case against them as well," Samuel said.

The Judge's Ruling to Dismiss most of the Lawsuit drew a Sharp Statement from Robb Pitts, Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners

As Federal Voting Legislation falters, State Republicans push to exert New Powers over Elections.

"This lawsuit is the result of meritless claims and the Big Lie. The votes have been counted three times, including a hand recount, and no evidence of widespread fraud has been found," Pitts said. "Last year, I told President Trump and others who push the Big Lie to "put up or shut up." It's been six months and no proof of wrongdoing has been produced. Enough is enough -- this whole circus must end," Pitts added.

Conservatives have clamored for Election Audits in a Number of States in the wake of Trump's November Loss.

The Baseless Belief that there was Widespread Fraud has persisted among some Republicans despite a Lack of Evidence. Currently there have been 16 Convictions of Voter Fraud from the 2020 Election, for Voting in someone elses Name. In one Case, a husband killed his wife, then Voted for himself and dead wife for Trump.

Unlike the free-for-all Audit playing out in Arizona, Georgia's Ballot Inspection would likely have more Guardrails if it were to move ahead.

The Judge previously said the Plaintiffs would have to Submit to him the Protocols for the Inspection.
