The GOP groups turned to the Georgia Supreme Court a day after the state’s Court of Appeals upheld a Fulton County Superior Court decision that sided with the Democratic Party of Georgia.

The Republicans pointed to a provision in state law that prohibits in-person early voting on a Saturday if it follows a holiday on the Thursday or Friday.

The Democrats successfully argued that the law in question applied to primary and general elections — but not run-offs.
