Court ruling opens way for weekend ballot submissions in Atlanta area. Decision impacts multiple counties where voters can hand-deliver their mail-in votes during off-hours

In a key pre-election development‚ a Georgia court blocked GOP efforts to limit weekend voting access. The legal push (which targeted mail-in ballot hand-delivery) failed to stop election offices from opening on sat-sun

The case focused on Fulton County — a dem-leaning region that makes up about 1/10th of Georgian voters; its home to most of Atlantaʼs population. The lawsuit tried to stop the countyʼs plan for weekend ballot drop-offs but didnt succeed

Five more big counties with dem-voting history joined in: they announced their election spots would stay open for weekend absentee ballot hand-ins. This move lets voters drop off their mail-in votes on non-work days; its giving more time-options to working people
