US Midterm: Georgia Voters Set New Record

Voters in Georgia have shattered previous state records for early voting in a midterm election.

Eko Hot Blog reports that as of Saturday morning, nearly 2.3 million voters had cast ballots before Election Day, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. During the 2018 midterm election, a total of 1.8 million ballots were cast in the state.

The total votes are “within striking distance” of the 2.6m ballots cast early in the 2020 presidential election, the Secretary’s office said.

Historically, fewer voters participate in midterm elections compared to presidential elections.

Georgia’s midterm contests are predicted to be incredibly close, and the large turnout suggests that voters on both sides of the aisle are deeply motivated.
