Over 1.1 million ballots cast in early voting for Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs

More than 1.1 million Georgians have voted in twin U.S. Senate runoff elections that will determine which party controls that chamber of Congress, and with it the fate of much of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's agenda, state data showed on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -More than 1.1 million Georgians have voted in twin U.S. Senate runoff elections that will determine which party controls that chamber of Congress, and with it the fate of much of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda, state data showed on Friday.

The surge in turnout after four days of early in-person voting, and about four weeks of mail-in voting, showed that voter participation in the two races is on pace to rival the records set in the November presidential contest in which Biden defeated Republican incumbent Donald Trump.

State data published on Friday showed the number of accepted ballots was just below the level seen at the same point in early voting for November’s election.
==========================================================
Hopeful sign that the Dems take the Senate instead of another 4 years of Republican obstruction.

It is very unusual to see this kind of early voter interest in this type of runoff election.

I truly hope that this promising early voter trend continues and that it actually favors both Dem candidates. The very last thing that this nation needs is more McConnell obstruction. Even as minority leader he'll still obstruct but a Congress with majority rule for the people will save millions of lives over the long run.
