Runoff elections in Georgia--lawsuit out in Riverdale

It is election day across the state, as various runoff races are being determined.

In Riverdale, a city council runoff will be held there as scheduled. A judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit that aimed to disqualify a transgender city council member. Michelle Bruce is looking to get re-elected to her seat--she’s in a runoff with second-place finisher Wayne Hall from November’s elections. Third-place finisher Georgia Fuller had filed the suit, claiming election fraud. The complaint identified Bruce as "Michael Bruce", and said voters were misled by the female identity.
