SUMMARY: With Election Day approaching, Georgia is witnessing unprecedented voting activity. Nearly 44% of registered voters (3.1 million) have already cast their ballots, primarily through early voting, with almost 3 million in-person early votes. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger noted daily record-breaking turnout. Although 340,000 absentee ballots were requested, only 200,000 have been returned.
