An emergency motion to delay a recent ruling that would allow early in-person voting on Nov. 26 has been denied by the Court of Appeals, according to a recent report by FOX 5 Atlanta.
This comes as a spokesperson with the Georgia Secretary of State's office told FOX 5 they disagree with the court's order and look forward to a prompt appeal by Attorney General Christopher Carr.
"The erroneous, last-minute changes to the election process—like the Superior Court’s Order—not only implicate the public’s strong interest in ensuring the State can enforce its election-law requirements but can also lead to voter confusion and incentivize voters to stay away from the polls," Carr's motion stated.
Earlier this month, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas A. Cox Jr. sided with U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and fellow democratic groups after they filed suit requesting that early voting be allowed leading up to the Georgia Senate runoff election slated for Dec. 6.
The 26-page document outlines several reasons the Attorney General's office believed the ruling interferes with state law.
According to the report, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp recently joined Walker on the campaign trail, appearing at a Nov. 19 rally as part of an overall plan designed to convert the roughly 200,000 additional people across the state who voted for him in his race against Stacey Abrams to now turn out for Walker.
