UPDATE (11/29/20 6:15 PM ET): Judge Timothy Batten, Sr. has issued a second order, seemingly reversing his first order from earlier this afternoon. Batten wrote: “”Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that county election officials are within Defendants’ control….to the extent Plaintiffs seek emergency relief to impound and preserve the voting machines, that request is denied.”

Attorney Lin Wood responding to the second order

ATLANTA — On Sunday, a federal district judge in Georgia, Timothy Bratten, Sr., granted a request to stop election officials in Georgia from wiping or resetting any voting machines until further direction from the court.

The judge did not, however, allow for the the voting machines to be impounded.

The suit, Pearson v. Kemp, was filed earlier this week by Sidney Powell.
