Raphael Warnock and his Democratic Party allies have sued the state after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger prohibited early voting for Warnock’s Senate runoff against Herschel Walker from beginning on Saturday, Nov. 26.

Halting early voting that day—the Secretary of State’s office had said the day falls too close to Thanksgiving and violates state law—would reduce the number of early voting days from six to five for the Dec. 6 runoff.
