Plaintiffs filed their initial complaint on December 23, 2020. Doc. No. [1]. Plaintiffs sought an emergency temporary restraining order on December 29, 2020. Doc. No. [11]. The Court denied Plaintiffs’ TRO request, but expressed concerns over Defendants’ alleged actions. Doc. No. [29]. The case proceeded through discovery and eventually the Parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. Doc. Nos. [155]; [156]. On March 9, 2023, the Court largely denied both motions for summary judgment.2 Doc. No. [222]. The Court thereafter granted a partial motion for reconsideration on the summary judgment granted—specifically, vacating the judgment as it related to Defendant True the Vote’s voter challenges in Muscogee County. Doc. No. [235]. The Court specially set the case for a bench trial beginning on October 26, 2023, and the trial concluded on November 7, 2023. The Court took the matter under advisement and now issues this Order containing its findings of fact and conclusions of law, and its judgment in favor of Defendants.
