A federal judge rejects Lin Wood's challenge to Georgia absentee ballots

U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg denied Lin Wood's request to block Georgia from certifying its presidential election results. Wood challenged absentee-ballot procedures after more than one million Georgians had voted absentee, but the order found he lacked standing and waited too long to bring the claims. The ruling kept Georgia's certification on track and protected voters from having valid absentee ballots questioned after Election Day.
