I assume the reason for the prohibition on Saturday voting immediately after a public and legal holiday on Thursday or Friday had to do more with personnel availability than anything else.

Don't see an issue with the courts saying to have one because "or runoff" wasn't in the updated statute. However, since the vast majority of people that operate a polling place are volunteers, don't complain on that Saturday (others are fair game) because they aren't run efficiently or even open because someone decided they wanted their four day weekend over sitting in a voting center somewhere.

It's early voting. So the Georgians that traveled to be with family on Thanksgiving might not get to vote on the 1st day. It's not the only day. The judge going back to an earlier version of the law instead of what's currently on the books bothers me though. If some persons wanted to challenge what the GA Senate passed, now is not the time.

What he said is the early version had runoffs. They specifically updated to omit runoffs. I think that is valid.

They didn't omit runoffs, the just didn't feel like Saturday voting was necessary in a runoff situation. I agree, why make the poll workers waste a family day.
