I'm a bit worried about early voting in Georgia.

My daughter lives in Cherokee County, Georgia which is quite red (68.7% R in the last presidential election). She waited in line for over an hour to vote this morning and told me it was almost totally older white people.

Please please please please please, if you know anyone in Georgia make sure they vote.

I’m not worried. I think Warnock will win by about 4% or so.

But, as another DUer pointed out, without Kemp & other repubs on the ballot, Walker is at a disadvantage. Add to it, that control of the senate doesn't come down to this race, there may be a lot of repubs who sit this one out.

If your daughter lives amongst the elderly, they (we) move a lot more slowly. Some of them might not bother to show up.

Keep the faith.
