Early voting underway in Georgia as judge makes ruling about certification

Share

Early voting gets underway in the battleground state of Georgia today. With just three weeks until the election, Georgia remains a big prize with 16 electoral votes.

Donald Trump will be in Atlanta on Tuesday night. He will be speaking at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center.

Georgia is a key state in the presidential election. Joe Biden won the state in 2020 by 12,670 votes. The result prompted then-President Donald Trump to unsuccessfully challenge the results in court.

In Georgia on Tuesday, a Fulton County judge ruled that certifying elections is a required duty of county election boards and they’re not allowed to refuse the results based on suspicion of miscounts or fraud.

Recent polling shows the race is a dead heat in Georgia with Trump favored in surveys when it comes to issues, such as the economy and immigration. Vice President Kamala Harris scores better on protecting democracy and abortion.

Harris is slated to be in Atlanta on Saturday for a campaign rally.
