Georgia’s Supreme Court has declined to reinstate election rules approved by a partisan, pro-Trump majority on the Georgia State Election Board. Among other things, the new rules would have required ballots to be hand-counted, potentially delaying results and sowing chaos on election night.
Here in New York, a federal judge has ordered former mayor, and former Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani to turn over his luxury Manhattan apartment and other prized possessions to a pair of Georgia election workers whom Giuliani falsely accused of committing election fraud during ballot-counting operations in 2020, leading to a torrent of death threats from Trump supporters. Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss were awarded $146 million last year after Giuliani was found liable for defaming them. Along with his apartment, Giuliani will have to hand over his collection of luxury watches, signed baseball memorabilia and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz previously owned by actor Lauren Bacall.
