A judge in Georgia on Nov. 5 dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign alleging that a county was improperly counting ballots that were received after the state’s Election Day deadline.

Chatham County Superior Court Judge James Bass made the decision at the close of a roughly one-hour hearing, according to The Associated Press. He didn’t provide a reason for his decision. The county includes the heavily Democratic city of Savannah.
