Federal Judge declines to block portions of GA election law.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/561888-judge-declines-to-block-parts-of-georgia-election-law

A federal judge in Georgia declined to strike down portions of the state’s controversial voter law ahead of run-off elections slated for next week.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul “J.P.” Boulee, a Trump appointee, did not weigh in on some of the most controversial aspects of the law, nor did it strike down a portion of the statute that changes the deadline for requesting absentee ballots. It also did not a provision on election observation.

The Georgia law passed in March along party lines imposes restrictions that voting rights groups say will fall most heavily on minorities. The measure sets new voter ID requirements for absentee ballots, limits drop boxes and even prohibits passing out food and water to those waiting in line to vote.

Elections have consequences.

him not wanting to change anything or strike anything down right before an impending election. It doesn't sound like he's ruling much on the merits of the law.
