Early voting will be allowed on Saturday in Georgia’s runoff election for Senate after an appeals court rejected an argument that state law forbade it.

In a brief ruling on Monday, the Georgia Court of Appeals declined a request from the state to halt a ruling made by a Fulton County judge on Friday, which found voting on Saturday permissible. It is up to individual counties whether to actually offer early voting that day...

...Mr. Raffensperger’s office indicated that he would accept the appeals court’s ruling.

“The court has worked its will,” said Mike Hassinger, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office. “We believe this is something the General Assembly should consider clarifying to avoid confusion in the future. I hope that election workers are able to enjoy a somewhat restful holiday despite this decision.”
