GA VOTER UPDATE — as of this morning (modeled party):
🔴 GOP — 36%
🔵 Dems — 47%
Independents are making up a larger share of the early vote. Based on the turnout trend so far, we expect the gap to continue tightening and the electorate to become more Republican as early voting continues.
VOTED as of this morning in Georgia. Look for this number to tighten up over the next few days of early voting.
🔴 143,798 — GOP Primary voting history — 38%
🔵 197,596 — Dem Primary voting history — 51%

🚨 GEORGIA EARLY VOTE UPDATE — OCT. 14
Georgia has now recorded 372,174 accepted early ballots.
By age:
18–39: ~40,900 — 11.2%
40–64: ~154,300 — 42.4%
65+: ~168,700 — 46.4%
Nearly half of Georgia’s early voters so far are 65 or older, while voters under 40 account for just over 11% of the age-known early vote.
We have the momentum because Georgians across our state want a governor who shows up, stays, and finishes the job, not one who cuts and runs when things get hard.
But it all comes down to the next 20 days. VOTE EARLY!
