Georgia Judge Allows Saturday Vote After Warnock, Democrats Sue

[Superbadbrutha]

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.

A truly idiotic judicial decision.

You are soon to be a one party nation.

Maybe it's for the better. With DACA now being pushed hard by the Dems, there might come a day when the U.S is renamed "North Mexico". We will still remain Creepy Canada for anyone interested.

Conservatives despise working people with the fire of a thousand suns, and they don't even try to hide it any more.

Why else would they be so upset about Saturday voting?

Apparently, the conservative base doesn't work.

It's to slow the working class from voting. So you have the poll open Mon through Friday. Most work on those days and it's a bear to find the time to get to the polling place. In a state like Georgia, the working class may not automatically pull the R lever and this is just another way for the Reds to slow the working class voting down.

Why else would they be so upset about Saturday voting?

Because that’s when working Americans of color vote, perceived to be likely Democratic voters.

The right’s unwarranted opposition to early voting and voting by mail is as racist as it is anti-democratic.

And the right’s war on democracy will continue.
