A Georgia judge—the sister of failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams—refused to recuse herself from an election case, instead ruling against the purge of more than 4,000 voters from state rolls before the Jan. 5 runoffs that will decide which party controls the Senate.
The 11-page ruling by US District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner on Monday came after two counties voted to remove a tranche of names from their voter rosters based on two separate complaints that alleged that public voter registration data matched unverified change-of-address records by the US Postal Service.
