2. Whether nonlegislative officials had the authority to rewrite, change or otherwise determine the "times, places and manner" of federal elections, including the senatorial runoff election, in contravention of the established legislative framework, without the approval of the Georgia General Assembly.

3. Whether Respondents' unauthorized actions in changing the signature verification requirements, time of opening and method of delivering absentee ballots violated Petitioner's Equal Protection and Due Process rights.
