Now we have this controversy in Georgia over voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. At first, the Governor said that it wasn't allowed based on state law, but a court ruled that the law, as written, only applied to primaries and the general election, that there was nothing about run-offs, so therefore the law didn't apply. Anyway, the state appealed the first judges ruling but it finally made it to the state Supreme Court which ruled that the state law banning Saturday voting did NOT apply when it comes to run-off elections, but the Court left it up to each county to decide if they were going to allow people to vote on the Saturday after Thanksgiving or not. Well that has now become the focus of the latest argument being made by the Republicans in their attempt to restrict any form of early voting.
So, now the Republicans are trying to shut this down based on the claim that because each county in Georgia gets to decide if they're going to allow voting on Saturday after Thanksgiving or not, and since more Democratic-controlled counties than Republican-controlled were going to be open for voting, that this will give Warnock an unfair advantage. So they're now arguing that since most Republican-controlled counties weren't going to have Saturday voting, that NO county should be allowed to have Saturday voting.
Now, all they have to do is simply open these Republican-controlled counties to Saturday voting and their problem would be solved, but then that would feel like they were giving in, and they would rather complain and try to stop the Democrats instead of doing something logical for once.
