President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign filed a lawsuit in Georgia on Wednesday seeking to separate out late-arriving ballots in the contested state.

The Trump campaign and the Georgia Republican Party filed the lawsuit against the Chatham County Board of Elections, asking a judge to order the county to secure and account for ballots received after 7 p.m. on Nov. 3, Election Day, according to a court document (pdf).
