A Georgia state court judge ruled that voters can go to the polls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, handing a victory to US Senator Raphael Warnock and the Democratic Party.
The ruling on Friday came after a hearing in Atlanta on a last-minute lawsuit by Warnock, who faces Republican Herschel Walker in a Dec. 6 runoff. The decision enjoins Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from any further efforts to keep the polls closed on that day.
Attorneys for Warnock argued that Raffensperger was misreading the state’s new election law and asked Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox to immediately enjoin the ban on voting on the only allowable Saturday before the election.
“Foreclosing voting opportunities has always been considered irreparable harm,” said attorney Uzoma Nkwonta.
Why would anyone be against early voting, being early.
