The Georgia Supreme Court allowed counties to hold elections on Saturday for the Senate runoff election between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and GOP challenger Herschel Walker, siding with Warnock and Democrats.

A unanimous ruling (pdf) on Wednesday issued by the state’s highest court upheld a decision handed down by a Fulton County judge that blocked Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s directive to prohibit counties from voting on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Georgia also has a state holiday on Friday.
