Wood followed up the news by explaining why he filed the suit. “I filed this lawsuit on my own since time was of the essence. GA election was unlawful.”

“It diluted our in-person votes & violated equal protection. I do not know if my case will be successful. But the cherished right to vote belongs to each individual member of We The People,” Wood explained.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is listed as the party that Wood is challenging and it appears that the case will first be heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where Clarence Thomas is the Circuit Justice.

The petition says that “The Georgia Legislature has plenary authority to set the ‘Times, Places and Manner’ of Federal Elections and has clearly set forth the procedures to be followed in verifying the identity of in-person voters as well as mail-in absentee ballot voters.

Wood believes that “The Georgia Secretary of State usurped that power by entering into a Settlement Agreement with the Democratic Party earlier this year and issuing an ‘Official Election Bulletin’ that modified the Legislature’s clear procedures for verifying the identity of mail-in voters.”

“The effect of the Secretary of State’s unauthorized procedure is to treat the class of voters who vote by mail different from the class of voters who vote in-person, like Petitioner,” the petition continues.

Due to that effect, Wood feels “That procedure dilutes the votes of in-person voters by votes from persons whose identities are less likely to verified as required by the legislative scheme.”

“The Secretary’s unconstitutional modifications to the legislative scheme violated Petitioner’s Equal Protection rights by infringing on his fundamental right to vote,” Wood concluded in the petition.

Wood also announced that he has “filed an amicus brief in the US Supreme Court in support of the State of Texas.”

Tonight I filed an amicus brief in US Supreme Court in support of the State of Texas.

11/3 election in GA & other states was unlawful & unconstitutional.

Let justice be done.https://t.co/6dCz4bybmq
