Early voting in Georgia’s Senate runoff election started on Nov. 26 following a ruling issued by the state’s highest court to determine whether Democrats can expand their majority in the upper chamber.
A top Georgia election official, Gabriel Sterling, wrote that 69,297 people voted on Nov. 26, the first day of early voting for the Dec. 6 election between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and Republican candidate Herschel Walker. Sterling, who drew criticism for his claims following the 2020 election, noted that the second day of voter turnout will top 100,000.
