ABC News: “Early turnout in Georgia’s fast approaching Senate runoff between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker broke daily voting records three times since polls in all 159 counties opened last Monday.
Ahead of the Tuesday runoff, state officials have celebrated the historic feat. Elections experts contextualized those numbers as unusually high because of a voting period that was condensed by lawmakers as part of a larger overhaul of state elections….
On Friday, the last day of early voting for the runoff, 352,953 people cast ballots, according to state elections data — bringing the total number of early votes, either in person or absentee, to more than 1.8 million.
Friday’s total beat out Tuesday’s one-day record of 304,683, which was higher than early in-person voting in any other previous election year, according to the secretary of state’s office, other than Monday’s total of 303,665.
That pace eclipses previous records set by of voters who cast ballots in runoffs in 2018 and 2016, the state data shows.”
