Nearly 2.1 million have voted early in U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly 2.1 million people have cast ballots in a U.S. Senate runoff election in Georgia that will determine whether Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the fate of President-elect Joe Biden's agenda, according to state data published Thursday.
More than a quarter of the state's registered voters have either cast ballots early or through the mail, the state's figures show, a sign that turnout in the pair of Senate races will be high. About 4 million Georgians voted early in the November election, in which Democrat Biden defeated President Donald Trump.
The runoffs pit Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff against Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, respectively. The runoff election was necessary because no candidate won more than 50% of the vote on Nov. 3.
The state releases information about the number of people who voted, but does not tally their votes until election day.

Stacey Abrams reports that over a half million NEW voters have been registered since the November election. They'll be voting for the very first time in this Georgia runoff, and many of them are African-Americans. We need all the voters who voted BLUE in November, plus the new voters who are recently registered. That's how the Good Guys are going to win this thing!
