Voters in Georgia have cast more ballots so far during the early voting period, surpassing the 2020 presidential election early vote totals, according to the Secretary of State’s office.

“Reports of long lines were rare, with some lines in the metro areas being reported,” said Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office in a news release. “No substantial delays were reported ... early voting turnout is expected to increase during the last week.”
