This 1st day of early voting is a blowout. As of noon, we are at 122,049 voters so far today. The record 1st day was 2020, with 136,000 votes cast. We will be blowing past the previous First Day record. Great job counties, avg check in time is 55 seconds. #gapol

At most one day. The 12th was Columbus / Indigenous People’s Day back in 2020 so suspect some early voting places may not have actually opened until the Tuesday just like this year. But if folks could actually vote on the Monday last time, that makes this years numbers even more impressive since the holiday would actually be easier for a lot of people to vote on if they were off work.

Ok, so not that big a difference.

From the AJC: "As of 2:30 p.m., more than 204,000 voters had cast ballots Tuesday." https://www.ajc.com/politics/live-coverage-georgia-on-track-for-record-first-day-of-voting-as-state-preps-for-swing-state-scrutiny/UUQDZN6LPFG5DL5DTO54LO3GZE/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AJCPolitics&utm_content=11381386
As of 4:30 p.m., there were 251,899 votes--an all-time record. (Of course, that's just 3% of RVs.)
just 3% but 20 more days to go...so many early votes we have no idea what the final total will be.
Over 300,000!
