runof
A federal judge on Thursday ordered Georgia to temporarily reopen voter
registration ahead of a hotly contested congressional runoff in the 6th

broader lawsuit by a Washington-based advocacy group, which last
month accused Georgia of violating federal law by reducing the amount of
time residents have to register to vote. Kristian Torres, Atlanta Journal-
