Trump v. Kemp (Mark H. Cohen, N.D. Ga. 1:20-cv-5310)
About an hour before New Year’s Day, six days before Congress was to certify President Biden’s Electoral College victory in the 2020 presidential election, the defeated incumbent filed a federal complaint in the Northern District of Georgia seeking to have Georgia’s presidential election results decertified. The district judge denied the plaintiff immediate relief at a January 5, 2021, videoconference hearing.
