Pro se plaintiffs filed separate verified complaints against Secretary of State and county boards of elections and their individual members, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief.
The Superior Court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss. Plaintiffs appealed, and the cases were consolidated for appeal.
The Supreme Court held that plaintiffs’ complaints failed to comply with constitutional provision waiving sovereign immunity only for claims brought exclusively against the State and in the name of the State of Georgia or exclusively against the counties and in the name of such counties.
