Georgia counties will be allowed to hold early voting this Saturday in the U.S. Senate runoff election between Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. That's under a Wednesday ruling from the Georgia Supreme Court. At issue is a section of Georgia law that says early in-person voting is not allowed on a Saturday if the Thursday or Friday preceding it is a holiday. The state and Republican groups argued that means voting shouldn’t be allowed this Saturday, Nov. 26, because Thursday is Thanksgiving and Friday is a state holiday. Democrats argued the prohibition applies only to primaries and general elections, not runoff elections.
Saturday voting in Athens-Clarke County will take place at the downtown location and the Miriam Moore Community Center.
