U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten issued a follow-up order – about one hour after an earlier order – paving the way for voting machines allegedly involved in fraud from being reset in Union County, Georgia.
Judge Batten’s earlier order had temporarily barred that action.
“Plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order to impound and preserve the voting machines in the State of Georgia, and to prevent any wiping of data. However, Plaintiffs’ request fails because the voting equipment that they seek to impound is in the possession of county election officials,” Batten wrote in his second order.
“Defendants cannot serveas a proxy for local election officials against whom the relief should be sought…Therefore, to the extent Plaintiffs seek emergency relief to impound and preserve the voting machines, that request is denied.”
Court papers filed on Friday indicate that machines were already “wiped and reset” in Atlanta, Georgia.
