Georgia State House District 128 Election Contest
Wheeler v. Baldwin County Board of Elections
Lawsuit filed by Tracy Wheeler, the Republican candidate for the Georgia State House District 128, against her Democratic opponent Willie Mack Jackson Jr. and six county boards of elections and registration challenging the results of the 2024 election. Jackson won the race by 48 votes. Wheeler alleges that several counties experienced issues processing ballots cast in person and by mail, rejected lawfully cast votes, and counted illegal votes from voters living outside the district. She argues the total number of votes affected by these issues is greater than Jackson’s 48-vote margin of victory. She asks the court to declare the previous election invalid and order the counties to hold a new election.
STATUS: Wheeler filed her petition on Nov. 27, 2024. A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025.
