The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a federal judge’s finding that a lawsuit seeking to force Georgia to return to paper ballots will likely succeed.

An appellate panel that included Circuit Judges William Pryor of Alabama, Robin Rosenbaum of Florida and U.S. District Chief Judge Michael Moore of the Southern District of Florida on Thursday held in a joint ruling that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of the state’s election board are not entitled to immunity from liability. The Eleventh Circuit issued its ruling just a week after hearing oral arguments.
