"...a Georgia lawmaker scrutinized the Trump campaign's list of allegedly illegal votes"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/heres-what-happened-when-a-georgia-lawmaker-scrutinized-the-trump-campaigns-list-of-allegedly-illegal-votes/ar-BB1bPtnW?ocid=U483DHP&li=BBnb7Kz



When Georgia state Rep. Bee Nguyen (D) reviewed a list of voters who President Trump’s campaign claimed cast illegal ballots in the state, three names caught her eye: two friends and a constituent.

For days, Nguyen pored over public records, spoke with voters by phone and even knocked on doors in person to vet the Trump list. She found that it included dozens of voters who were eligible to vote in Georgia — along with their full names and home addresses.

On Thursday, when a data analyst who compiled the list told a panel of state lawmakers that it proved thousands of voters cast ballots in Georgia who should not have, Nguyen was ready.

“I do want to share with you some of the things that I found that appeared to be incorrect to me,” the two-term lawmaker told Matt Braynard, whose research has been cited in numerous suits filed by Trump and his allies, several of which have been tossed out of the courts.

have a case for libel?

I have been surprised that folks haven't sued. An industrious lawyer might want to take that list and sign up clients. These are not public figures.

If you put a list out like this, then you should do your due diligence.

Same argument for the military families libeled in Arizona. Is there some exclusion from libel if it is in a court filing?
