Nearly a quarter-million vote in single day in Georgia Senate runoff race

Nearly a quarter-million voters cast their ballots in Georgia’s Senate runoff on Monday, breaking the state’s record for a single day of early voting as incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and Republican challenger Herschel Walker vie for the key seat.

“Ok…looks like we’ve broken the record and the rest is gravy. As of 4:45pm we’ve seen 239,160 voters so far today. Will break a quarter million voters today,” said top Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling in a Twitter update.




The previous record for an early voting day was around 233,000, a spokesperson for Georgia’s secretary of state told The Hill.

Neither Warnock nor Walker won more than 50 percent of the vote in the midterm general election, kicking the race into a runoff and dragging out the competitive campaigns until Dec. 6.

Hard to see the Republican base turning out for Hershel. No tangible results for them in a win and I doubt that Walker is motivating them in any real sense. OTOH, he'd be a total embarrassment if elected. I would not be shocked if the Republican vote doesn't show up.
