Stunning scenes in Georgia
But the extraordinary stakes of what lies ahead — and the power of democracy — were laid bare on Tuesday in the most emphatic way as over 300,000 voters in the key battleground of Georgia showed up on the first day of early voting and broke a record. In recent races in the Peach State, heavy turnout would be a good sign for Democrats. But despite Trump’s insistence that all voting should take place on Election Day, the GOP has been pleading with its voters to turn up early, so it’s too soon to draw any conclusions about who is showing up.
No, it's not too early, those are not trumpie voters.
Gabriel Sterling — the chief operating officer for Georgia’s secretary of state, who played a key role in debunking Trump’s election falsehoods four years ago — argued that democracy was alive and well in his state. “For those [that would be PoJo] that claimed Georgia election laws were Jim Crow 2.0 and those that say democracy is dying…the voters of Georgia would like to have a word,” he said.
