Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are making their final campaign pushes in Michigan and Pennsylvania during the final day before Election Day.
Georgia's highest court on Monday ruled ballots in the state's third-largest county must be returned by Election Day.
A previous lower court ruling would have allowed certain voters in Cobb County who received their absentee ballots late to return them after the deadline as long as they were postmarked by Tuesday. The county, just north of Atlanta, didn't mail out absentee ballots to some voters who had requested them until late last week. Georgia law says absentee ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day.
The Georgia Supreme Court ruling means the affected residents must vote in person on Election Day, or get their absentee ballots to the county elections office by 7 p.m. that day. The high court ruling instructs county election officials to notify the affected voters by email, text message and in a public message on the county election board's website. And it orders officials to keep separate and sealed any ballots received after the Election Day deadline but before 5 p.m. Friday.
