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.

Mahabad, Iran is under attack. Islamic republic regime’s forces are killing people on streets with warm weapons. The whole city’s electricity is shut down and the only sense of humanity there is people screaming. We need neutral organisations to interfere before more people die

Yes!!!!

The best-proven option is same-day paper ballot voting. Just like every other civilized country. Early/absentee voting are just channel for cheating and disenfranchisement.

Boooooo, cause the left has to cheat, they need more moving pieces to accomplish this

Warnock needs ALL the help he can get, just to beat a horrible candidate like Walker.

A judge can’t change state laws.

Don’t trust a preacher! Vote Walker for Senate!

Walker is the best choice for Georgia! Vote Walker and the lights in Georgia will never go out! The other guy will make sure he pocket the money and not paid the light bills.

...everyone rushing to the polls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 😂

Cheaters!

Hooray for more opportunities for counting non citizen votes

The ballot harvest begins...

Come on! Those mail in ballots aren't going to write themselves!

Bullsh!t... election day.. stop feeding the steal..

Well of course he will. That’s the only way they can win. Pulling for you Hershel Walker!!

Seems to me people are just lazy

Warlock wife beater

Look at little Robbie Reiner and all the low information liberals out there so afraid of opposing opinions.

Lol, wonder who will win. 🤔😉 'It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes.'

This way they can have plenty of time to 'fix' ballots !

Why isn’t election laws made so it’s no doubt what is allowed and what is not allowed. It should not be open to doubt.

😂

Thank you to that judge for caring about democracy.

不要亂說話

Judges are supposed to uphold the law, right?

Leonardo DiCaprio in football

..

Fake news!

ScandalWines Early voting in Ga this NOVEMBER…. YES❗️🇺🇸

Is he a democrat or republican I think the people have the right to know

Really dumb that states still counting. Takes time to make votes

Cheat to win! The DEMONRATS way

Judge is a Farrakhan supporter and follower!

Ballot harvesting too?

Here they go again.

Why can’t people just vote on Election Day like they’re supposed to do?

I suspect this gets overturned. The law seems clearly written. There are also really practical reasons Sat voting of a holiday weekend is challenging.

Vote for Walker!

Warnock to the Senate

Cheaters

The only reason you are fighting this effort is to reduce the amount of people voting. Sounds like a Republican thing.

get that slimeball outta there

Why? Just vote IN PERSON on December 4th. These races that take multiple days to decide are seriously ridiculous

The fix is in. No need for the vote at all as democrats have already completed all the votes.

If the retrumplicans cry about this and cry unfair it doesn’t even matter because WE HAVE THE SENATE!

in other words.......they are allowed to cheat what's new

Anything the republicans can do to keep people from voting they will do

To avoid any tampering all votes should be in person with photo identification!!

Here we go again.

Of course

Unless the Rs take it to the fucking Supreme Court or something.

Too close for comfort

Cue the crybaby Republicans crying about cheating

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Let me guess its because black people work during the week, yet can't get ID'S. Is that the reason?

So he wants a bunch of poll workers to show up after Thanksgiving when people can mail in their ballot?

Just vote.

Democrats will cheat......

You an bet that hardly anyone will be voting on Saturday, not for Warnock.

no wonder usa is screwed,

If you have to restrict voting access, not only is your party not popular, but you are also anti democracy.

Not just in GA, the nation must make it easier to vote not harder because someone else thinks differently.

The voting system in this country is an embarrassment.

Total bullshit. Vote in Election Day. Period!

why does the article fail to mention the holiday in question is ROBERT E LEE'S BIRTHDAY?

I thought judges were supposed to uphold the law ?

Voting my mail

Wait! They can't make it easier for people to vote. That's cheating!

Don’t vote by mail

Thanks to Mark Elias 👏🏽👏🏽

That's a great idea because most people are off work.

Cheaters

Thank you to that judge for caring about democracy.

Warnock to the Senate! 👏

Mike Huckabee hits campaign trail with Herschel Walker, addresses Trump factor in Georgia Senate runoffFormer Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee addressed how the Trump factor could affect the runoff race between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock. Out of the millions of bright, thoughtful, honest, God-fearing, compassionate (and conservative!) Republicans in GA, Mr Walker is the one the GOP chose to run for Senate. Wow. Just wow. Donald Trump and GOP betrayed America and cannot be trusted. The support for HerschelWalker by white Republicans is cynical beyond words! They think black people will support any black person and Southern whites will support a football star regardless of intellectual incompetence. Sure, let him fly the plane 😣
