Lin Wood Plans SCOTUS Petition After Court Rejects Georgia Appeal

Attorney Lin Wood said Sunday he plans to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court after a federal appeals court denied his appeal in a case seeking to block the certification of the 2020 election in Georgia.

“The stakes are high as the case deals with a disputed Presidential election,” Wood said in an email to The Epoch Times.

“I intend to timely file a petition with the United States Supreme Court.”

A panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Saturday upheld a Nov. 19 ruling by judge Steven Grimberg, a Trump appointee, who said that Wood lacked legal standing as an individual voter to challenge Georgia’s election procedures.

Wood, known for representing Richard Jewell in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case and Kentucky teenager Nicholas Sandmann after news outlets smeared him, filed the suit last month arguing that the change to election rules by state officials violated the U.S. Constitution.

State officials were unauthorized to change the manner of processing absentee ballots in a way that was contrary with the state election code, and hence, the counting of absentee ballots for the general election in the state is therefore “improper and must not be permitted,” Wood alleged, adding:

“To allow otherwise would erode the sacred and basic rights of Georgia citizens under the United States Constitution to participate in and rely upon a free and fair election.”
