More people cast ballots on the first day of early voting in Georgia’s Senate runoffs this week than those that did so when early voting opened ahead of the 2020 general election.
Roughly 168,000 Georgians went to the polls on Monday, the first day to vote early in-person in the state’s two critical Senate runoff elections, according to numbers provided by the Georgia secretary of state’s office. By comparison, some 128,000 voted on the first day of early voting for the November general election.
Another 314,000 people cast absentee ballots on the first day of the early-voting period.
The first-day early in-person turnout broke a record previously set in October when early in-person voting began for the 2020 general election.
Since then, the numbers have only continued to rise. As of Friday morning, more than 1.1 million people had voted in the Jan. 5 Georgia runoff elections, according to numbers collated by Georgia Votes, a website that tracks early voting data.
That lags only slightly behind the roughly 1.2 million that had voted at this point in the 2020 general election.
Still, the turnout is stunningly high, given the timing of the two runoffs, in which Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) are facing Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively.
Already, some 24,000 people who did not vote in the November general election have cast ballots in the runoff, according to The U.S. Elections Project, another website that tracks early voting.
At stake in the Jan. 5 runoff elections is party control of the Senate. Republicans currently hold a 50-48 seat edge in the upper chamber and a pair of Democratic wins in the Georgia runoffs would effectively hand Democrats an evenly divided chamber, in which Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would cast the tie-breaking vote.

Against the rule I thought? If they didn’t vote in nov, they aren’t supposed to vote in runoff?
It won’t be long before ballots cast out-number legally registered living voters.
The electorate is 4 points more GOP compared to the same point in the General.
Sounds like the dead are rising from their graves.
I can believe that 314,000 absentee ballots were returned on the first day of early voting.
I highly doubt that they were submitted by 314,000 different people.
It was a rule, it should still be a rule, but it's not any longer. Hello Chuckie Schumer, it's his turn anyway!
The fix is in.
World Record Crooked Election
correct according to the LAW
“Looks like Stacey is delivering the goods”
Yep.
I wonder how many know Biden had brain surgery, twice.
Fraud before our eyes.
Doesn’t GA law say that the only electors that can participate in the runoff are the ones who voted in the Nov. 3 race? How on EARTH can they prove that?
Demoncrats. They truly are of their father the devil.
Hoss
If she does, you can bet she will beat Kemp in 2022.
The naive GOP should have demanded voting machine audits and signature verifications before scheduling these runoffs.
Why play another high stakes game with a stacked deck of cards against which you’ve already been cheated???!!!
If you take a suitcase full of ballots do you have to leave the suitcase there?
I never knew being dead was such hard work.
