Andrew W. Bell v. Karli Swift, et al.
1. Whether Georgia courts may dismiss election-contest petitions for "failure to perfect service " when O.C.G.A. § 21-2-524(f) places that duty on clerks and sheriffs —not on petitioners?
2. Whether the Georgia Supreme Court 's transfer of a discrete election-contest appeal —despite its "exclusive jurisdiction " under Ga. Const. Art. VI, § VI, Tf 11(2) —violates both state and federal constitutional guarantees of judicial access?
3. Whether denial of actual notice, refusal to re-enter judgments, and failure to apply equitable tolling deprive litigants of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment?
4. Whether repeated judicial and administrative breakdowns in Georgia — exemplified by delayed hearings, docket mismanagement, altered certification documents, and conflict with Eleventh Circuit en banc rules — require federal review under 28 U.S.C. § 1257(a)?
