The first in-person votes have been cast in the critical swing state of Georgia, and both campaigns are likely looking for encouraging signs from the latest numbers. But who has been voting? And what does that mean for the race for the White House?
On Tuesday, Georgia broke the record set for the first day of early voting, after voters cast 415,688 ballots, according to the secretary of state's election data hub. The previous record, set in 2020, was 136,000 votes on the first day of early voting. The tracker is updated at the end of every day, after polls close at 5 p.m.
Audrey Haynes, an associate political science professor at the University of Georgia, told Newsweek the record-breaking numbers suggest that Republicans have bought into early voting and mobilized GOP voters to vote by mail or by absentee ballots.

Yes there’s a guy on Twitter who follows this who said the gop is killing it in early GA and urban areas are down
the cheat algorithm runs at 3am so none of this means anything
Watch out for voting machine malfunctions on Election Day.
I hate to admit it, but I’m at that time of life that, if I don’t vote before Election Day, someone might be voting for Democrats under my name on that Tuesday. As I’m in a 80+ R county, that’s probably unlikely, but it’s nice to know my vote will be counted even if I’m no longer countable.
I’ve been thinking Trump wins GA by +2. GA is no longer a red state. About 41% of GA is black or Hispanic. Trump may peel off some of the black male vote, and may do well with Hispanics, but Dems have a huge natural voting base in GA.
Dems are always excited by early voting numbers and the media raves about the Dem ‘ground game’, but it’s early and there are millions of votes outstanding.
Exactly. It doesn’t really matter when or how we vote, computers are on all night, and they can dump groups of ghost ballots until they get what they want.
Hard to cypher the numbers. In the 2020 General Election 26% of the GA vote was mail-in. In 2022, 6% of the vote was mail-in. Most of the numbers for 2024 are in-person early voting and there’s no way to compare percentages to 2020 given the huge number of mail-in ballots in 2020.
Be aware and stay safe on Election Day!
Lethal force to be used by armed US forces against innocent American voters on Election Day?
So, Watch out for voting machine malfunctions and thugs on Election Day.
yep. I’m just recalling in 2020 when Trump was leading and then around 3am, Biden caught him and passed him to win. People really shouldn’t expect anything different this election cycle
By the time they are done then they will probably have 1 Billion more votes than voters.
Even with early vote totals, the Dems still will not know how many Republicans will be showing up on Election Day.
The fraud is going to be pretty bad.
“GA is no longer a red state.”
And therein lies the problem.
We lost Virginia.
North Carolina is purple to slightly red.
Georgia is now purplish.
Texas is becoming iffy.
Thanks to DeSantis, Florida has stabilized as a red state.
The GOP’s Sunbelt Strategy is coming close to breaking apart.
that is why I’m not getting my hopes up due to any poll. The dark powers want us to be over confident, so the crushing loss creates despair.
and thousands of Microsoft soy boys have moved in, also!
