Live coverage: Trump rallies in Cobb County, as Georgia shatters early voting records

Early voting kicked off Tuesday in Georgia and voters turned out in big numbers across the state. Also happening Tuesday:

• A pivotal hearing in a lawsuit alleging the state Election Board overstepped its authority when it passed a series of new rules, including one mandating hand counts of paper ballots on election night. The judge in the case appeared skeptical of the hand-counting rule.
• In a separate case involving a Republican election board member who argued she could refuse to sign off on the results from the presidential primary earlier this year, the judge ruled that certification is mandatory in Georgia.
