GA Repubs try but fail again

Georgia Supreme Court Unanimously Blocks GOP Attempt To Nix Day Of Early Runoff Voting


The Georgia Supreme Court, unanimously and without commentary, shot down Republicans’ attempt to bar a day of early voting in the Senate runoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Herschel Walker.

The high court upheld a decision from a Fulton County judge last week, who said that blocking the vote on the Saturday after Thanksgiving would “irreparably harm the Plaintiffs, their members, and constituents, and their preferred runoff candidate.”

When the Georgia Court of Appeals declined to block that lower court order, the Georgia Republican party, along with the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Republican National Committee, appealed to the state Supreme Court.

Each day of early voting took on more importance ever since Republicans in the state legislature, dismayed by their party’s losses in 2020, passed a bundle of voter restrictions that included chopping the runoff calendar in half.


Not that this will stop the POT from continuing to try to suppress voting in the future. It's in their DNA.
Another victory for democracy.
