Oconee County Superior Court Chief Judge Lisa Lott granted a temporary restraining order on Thursday afternoon requiring the Oconee County Board of Elections and Registration to remove the challenge of voters it approved on Oct. 1 and to cancel a hearing on those challenges scheduled for Thursday (Oct. 24) evening.
Judge Lott issued her decision following a nearly 90-minute long hearing on Monday (Oct. 21) on a request by Oconee County resident Susan Noakes for the restraining order.
