ATLANTA — A pair of one-page orders by the Georgia Supreme Court jostled the political landscape days before the Dec. 6 runoff between Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.
The rulings issued Wednesday reject a Republican attempt to ban Saturday voting and temporarily reinstate abortion restrictions that were blocked last week by a Fulton County judge’s decision.
Taken together, they represent two of the core issues — reproductive rights and ballot access — that many Georgia voters say helped shape their decisions in a midterm election that ended with clear Republican victories in every statewide race except the U.S. Senate contest.
