Record early voting in Georgia, a key battleground state ahead of November, has already brought in more than half of 2020’s total turnout since it began last week.
“So over 50% of the turnout for 2020 has already voted in Georgia,” Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling wrote Friday in a post on social platform X. “So for people like Joe Biden & Stacey Abrams, you were wrong saying we had voter suppression here. It’s easy to register & vote in Georgia…and really hard to even try to cheat. Great job by our voters & counties.”
As of Saturday morning, more than 2.6 million people in the Peach State have already voted, according to data compiled by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s (R) office. In 2020, just under 5 million voters cast their ballots in the state.
A majority of the ballots this year came from in-person voting rather than mail-in, which was more prevalent during the 2020 election due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
