Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox also prohibited the state from interfering in efforts to hold early voting that day or preventing any votes cast that day from being counted.

A judge on Friday said Georgia law allows counties to offer early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which is the only possibility for Saturday voting before next month's Senate runoff election between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.

"We disagree with the Court's order and look forward to a prompt appeal," Raffensperger's office said in an emailed statement. State lawmakers intentionally created a distinction between primary and general elections on one hand and runoff elections on the other, Nkwonta said. That makes sense, he reasoned, because of the condensed time period before a runoff.

"This is a legal issue, it's not a policy one," she told the judge."The issue is what does Georgia law require?" Under Georgia's 2021 election law, there will be only four weeks between the general election and the runoff — with Thanksgiving in the middle. Many Georgians will be offered only five weekdays of early in-person voting beginning Nov. 28.

Nobody trusts elections, nobody trusts CBS. PLEASE LEAVE again!

CBS you regretted that decision pretty quickly to leave Twitter. Nobody even cares or really noticed. Hard to spread your bias propaganda without this great platform.

I thought CBS was suspending all of your fake news because of “uncertainty” over Elon’s twitter take over. LOL That would be great, one less fake news organization out there spreading lies. The fake news is a real threat to democracy!

Almost 9 million followers, 40 comments on tweets, what’s happening here?

said it was leaving Twitter, but it also claims Trump colluded with Russia and attempted an insurrection. I think it would be difficult to find an example of CBS being truthful. Can't Be Sincere News fails again. You may as well put Cobert at the news desk.

Thought you guys were done with Twitter?

Thot u pampered lopps quit twatter cuz it was dangerous? A lie or just prissy drama?

AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION SAYS KEEP YOUR WORD AND GTFO!

LOLOLOLOLOL. You’re a bunch of 🤡.

Hey CBS guys, how's that twitter situation monitoring going?

Didn’t you leave like woke babies?

Back on Twitter clowns?

Empty threats is all the enemies of free speech have. you are cowards. Thought you were leaving Twitter. Guess not.....

Beat it nerds.

🤡

A Biden judge no doubt.
