Raphael Warnock, flanked by local elected officials and faith leaders, led a crowd of about 100 supporters in a march from the Deliverance Prayer Tower to an early voting center on Friday.
“If you have already voted, spend all weekend calling the folks who haven’t voted, or you don’t know if they voted,” Warnock told the crowd. “Call them — that’s your job. Your job is not over.” “Just because you have a right doesn’t mean you have realistic access. So when they told us we couldn’t vote on Saturday,” Warnock told the crowd before the march to the polls. “I prayed about it and then I sued. And we won.”Georgia has since broken turnout records for single-day totals of early voting, and more than 1.4 million people have already voted across the state, according to the most recent available data.
Warnock’s message was echoed by local elected officials and faith leaders who also rallied with the crowd to encourage voter turnout.
