A judge in Georgia will allow early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the state's US Senate runoff
A judge in Georgia on Friday ruled to allow early voting on November 26 in the state’s US Senate runoff election. In a written ruling, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox said that after he “considered the moving papers, arguments of counsel, and references to legal authority,” he determined that Georgia law did not prohibit from keeping the polls open the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The decision was in favor of Democratic Sen.
State election officials pointed to part of the election code that bars early voting on Saturday when there is a state holiday the Thursday or Friday before. Democrats contended that provision does not apply to runoff elections. They have pointed to comments made by state officials earlier this month suggesting counties could off early voting on that Saturday, as well as how it was offered the Saturday after Christmas in 2020.
