1. Yessss! Hope it stands!

[republianmushroom]

2. I like it

[Hortensis]

3. Good! The ruling says the law "permits" counties to allow Saturday voting,

in addition to the five mandatory days of voting the following week. An interpretation of the applicable law.

Since we're retired, we'll vote on a weekday anyway and leave Saturday to people with busier schedules.

19. Good decision.

I did early vote in person the first day available in my area. They had it earlier but it was downtown.

[Hortensis]

34. Nice feeling, I know. Our county's later and also may not be

allowing Saturday voting. The official website still says early starts Monday, Nov. 28. I'll check next week.

Happy Saturday.

8. Now, college students can vote while they're home for Thanksgiving.

I live in a college community. When I was knocking on doors prior to the general election, I found that many students were registered to vote in their hometown and not the town where their college or university is located.

Plus, our local public schools and colleges and universities are on Thanksgiving break right now, do it’s so important to have many opportunities to vote, especially for those who are working through the holiday.

Athens-Clarke County, GA is going to have Sunday voting on November 27. Other Georgia counties are holding Sunday voting too!

GOTV y’all! 🗳🍑🇺🇸

[SheltieLover]

13. Yaaaaay!

[CottonBear]

18. It's great news!

I bet KKKemp, the Walker campaign, the GA GQP & Secretary of State Raffensperger are big mad! 😆

[SheltieLover]

22. I'm sure they will run, sniveling, to USCOTUS.

Htf can it be legal to celebrate insurrectionists' bday anyway? (I've read that's not asshat Lee's real bday anyway.)

[Funtatlaguy]

9. So instead of Sunday souls to the polls...

[CottonBear]

24. Many counties had already scheduled Sunday voting, including Clarke!

[TNNurse]

10. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harker]

11. I'd like to give every thirsty voter a refreshing drink of water...

and every hungry voter a hunk of bread.

28. The NBA took the day off on election day

to encourage people to go vote. I thought a couple dozen of the league's stars should pointedly head to GA and hand out sandwiches and water to those in line and *dare* GA officials to arrest them.

[Harker]

30. That's heartening. Next stop - a national holiday.

I wonder what the charge would be called if someone broke those inhuman laws, and what sort of penalties would be.

[a kennedy]

12. It never should have been a problem. Damn. But, happy, and finally. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[SheltieLover]

14. Ty Sen. Warnock, legal team & judge! Let's go, GA!

[Demovictory9]

15. Gop. "Thats cheating"

[Cha]

16. Freaking Fantastic!! nt

[Kid Berwyn]

17. THIS is a big deal.

More opportunity to vote scares GQP.

[lpbk2713]

20. Working people will get to vote.

Saturday might be their only chance. (R)s are shaking in their boots.

[CottonBear]

25. Several GA counties are holding Sunday voting too!

[Emile]

21. Republicans sued to limit voting. Fascist bastards.

[SheltieLover]

23. Yes they are!

[MichMan]

26. Hope employees didn't make any holiday weekend plans with family.

They'll have to cancel them now. I hope they're busy because if it is slow, I would be pissed to have to work a holiday for no reason.

Since runoffs don't specifically mention being closed for holidays, they should at least be thankful they get Thanksgiving off.

I'm all for early voting of course, but I think taking a holiday away from workers is pretty shitty.

[Initech]

27. GOTV Georgia!!!!

Down with Herschel Walker! Down with MAGA fascism! Down with Fox News! Down with Infowars! Fuck 'em all!

[mucifer]

29. MARC ELIAS ROCKS!!

He works so hard to win these cases.

[SlimJimmy]
