GA Supreme Court Confirms Voters Have Standing To Sue Election Officials Who Violate Law

“Because the Georgia Constitution is the source of the judicial power of state courts, federal standing requirements do not control our analysis.”[Pg 15]

 

“And it is unsurprising that we have extended this logic to “voters,” because they, like citizens and taxpayers, are community stakeholders. Voters may be injured when elections are not administered according to the law or when elected officials fail to follow the voters’ referendum for increased taxes to fund a particular project, so voters may have standing to vindicate public rights” [Pg 50]
