In win for Democrats, Georgia judge allows early voting in Senate runoff on Saturday after Thanksgiving

A Fulton County judge ruled Friday that the Georgia Secretary of State cannot prohibit counties from voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a victory for the state Democratic Party and Sen. Raphael Warnock’s campaign.

Raffensperger, a Republican, had maintained that changes to Georgia voting laws meant that there could be no early voting on Nov. 26, the only Saturday when it would have been possible for Georgians to cast an early vote in the hotly contested race. Mike Hassinger, a spokesperson for Raffensperger's office, said"We disagree with the court’s order and look forward to a prompt appeal.”

The law also stipulates early in-person voting not be held on any Saturday that follows a “public or legal holiday” on the preceding Thursday or Friday. Raffensperger contended that meant there would be no early in-person voting on Nov. 26, the Saturday following Thanksgiving.

Common sense. Wtf are cheating republican concocting now?!?

Warnock actively supports antisemites. Additionally, “Mr. Warnock believed that Israel is “an apartheid state””. 🦨.

How the hell is this a win for Democrats. Don't they think the Republicans are going to vote also. The media is just aweful

Vote Walker.

This is not a “win for democrats”, this is a win for the people of GA! Voting shouldn’t be a partisan issue!

The big counties were already having Sunday voting anyway

Instead of saying a win for Democrats can we say it's a win for people?

Thank you

Let the cheating begin

Georgia =democrat corruption

This is a victory for the voters of Georgia. Framing it as a win for the Democrats is disingenuous and deceptive. DO BETTER JOURNALISM.

Can’t believe how the GOP is for voter suppression, and the dems are for everyone being able to vote. How far the GOP has fallen.

Yes, but why is it a victory? Because when voter turnout is high, Democrats have a good chance of winning.

choptopmoseley i love that more people voting is now a base bad thing for republicans. says alot

How about a picture of a smiling Warnock? Subtle bias.

This us BS!!!

VOTE💙!

Why wouldn't you want to

Yes!!!!

Ridiculous!!

It gives people the ability to vote on Saturday regardless of who they vote for!!

It figures.

Republicans always trying to cheat

It's a victory for both sides, it's a victory for voters!

More opportunities for people to vote is a victory for everyone.

A victory for *democracy*

Incoming maga tears!
