ATLANTA — For the first time in a general election, voters are casting ballots under new rules created by Georgia’s voting law for absentee ballots, weekend voting and challenges to voter eligibility.
Politicians on both sides are using the law to make points about its impact on voters as turnout approaches record highs for a midterm election.
Republicans say strong turnout debunks claims that the election law would suppress voters; Democrats say voters are showing up despite the law.
