A federal judge in Georgia gave an angry and demeaning lecture to Republican Party attorneys late Tuesday afternoon during a hearing over a lawsuit challenging last-minute efforts by Democratic-leaning counties to allow more people to vote in the Peach State.

On Friday, as the in-person early vote period ended in Georgia, numerous counties said they would allow voters to drop off their mail-in ballots at county buildings over the weekend.

With a quickness typical to election-related litigation, Donald Trump‘s campaign and state Republicans sued to segregate those ballots in state court. Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee sued in federal court using substantially similar legal arguments.

Now, both of those lawsuits have been rejected.
