Supreme Court of Georgia

Catoosa County Republican Party v. Henry

September 17, 2024319 Ga. 794

Summary

The court held that it had subject-matter jurisdiction over the appeal because it involved an election contest, but dismissed the appeal without reaching the merits. The appellants failed to pursue expedited review or otherwise act with sufficient dispatch before the primary election and instead requested additional time and delayed oral argument, making post-election relief potentially disruptive and subject to prudential dismissal.
