Democratic voters eclipsed Republicans during Georgia's election. What does that mean for November?

[RandySF]

Last week’s primary election didn’t feature any races with both a Democrat and a Republican on the ballot, but Georgia Democrats still feel like they won.

If you are one of the more than 2 million Georgians who cast a ballot, you will likely recall the poll worker asking you to choose a Democratic, Republican or nonpartisan ballot.

In all, Democrats pulled more than 1 million ballots to Republicans’ nearly 940,000, or about 52.6% to 45.4%

Democratic Party of Georgia Chairman Charlie Bailey said that margin is the biggest for Democrats since 1998 and shows that voters are ready to line up in November behind candidates like U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic nominees for U.S. Senate and Georgia governor.

1. Let's hope a lot of those Republicans

Decide to vote democratic

2. "Eclispsed" is a weird word

Showed up in greater numbers maybe? Also, primary vote counts don’t exactly translate to turnout in the general election. Not throwing a wet blanket here. I just don’t want to jinx our chances.
