Georgia Early Voting off to Robust Start Following Court Battle and Nasty Campaign

Early voting polls opened for the second day on Sunday for the Georgia Senate runoff deciding whether Democrats expand their Senate majority.

After the first day of voting on Saturday, more than 90,000 early and absentee votes were tallied, according to figures from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office posted as of early Sunday morning. By the end of Day 2, voter turnout is expected to top six figures, according to Gabriel Sterling, a top Georgia election official.

Turnout has been especially strong among black voters, who have cast 41,195 — or 46% — of the 90,357 votes so far, according to Sunday morning state figures. Women made up 56% of votes cast to date, and the demographic groups with the highest turnout were voters between the ages of 50 and 70 years old and young people (18-24 years old.)

Early voting opens up as campaigning enters an especially nasty phase with opponents Herschel Walker and incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). (Read more from “Georgia Early Voting off to Robust Start Following Court Battle and Nasty Campaign” HERE)
