    Since you will not have to vote again in the future, I guess more people are getting it out of the way. /s

    As of Tuesday, October 15th just over 310,000 Georgia voters have cast their ballot during Early Voting. This is up from 70,849 on the first day of Early Voting in the 2018 midterm election, 136,739 in the 2020 Presidential Election, and beats the first day of Early Voting of 134,962 in the 2022 midterm election.

    That’s a crazy jump from Biden.

      Well here’s to hoping that early voting in GA follows normal trends of skewing Democrat.

      But there is nothing normal about this election, and this is GA. So God only knows.

        Yeah, the quotes in the link aren’t that great, and GA has been highlighted as an area likely for shenanigans for a while now.

        This shits too close to comfort, but I’m surprised with this huge of turnout even just local reporting isn’t doing exit polling.

          Same here. Everything I’ve been reading is that we don’t know who these early voters voted for yet, nor are there reliable estimates of which way it may have swung overall.
