A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit by Attorney General Chris Carr against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones accusing his political rival of having an unfair advantage in campaign fundraising.
Under Georgia law, Jones is able to raise and spend unlimited funds only through a special committee available only to the governor, lieutenant governor and a small group of legislative leaders.
While the judge acknowledged the advantage, she ruled that Carr had sued Jones and his campaign for "doing exactly what Georgia law allows them to do."
