Georgia Democrats have announced a lawsuit against the state over not allowing Saturday voting in the upcoming Warnock-Walker runoff election, but Georgia is pushing back.
However, Georgia voting law states that,"There shall be a period of advance voting that shall commence... On the fourth Monday immediately prior to a runoff from a general election in which there are candidates for a federal office on the ballot in the runoff."
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is now accusing,"Senator [Raphael] Warnock and his Democratic Party allies [of] seeking to change Georgia law right before an election based on their political preferences.

"Instead of muddying the water and pressuring counties to ignore Georgia law, Senator Warnock should be allowing county election officials to continue preparations for the upcoming runoff," Raffensperger said in a statement.
