ATLANTA — More than 300,000 Georgians cast their ballots on Monday in Georgia's highly contentious Senate runoff race, smashing the previous one-day record of 233,000 votes set just four years ago, according to Georgia's secretary of state office. The record-setting vote tally on the first day of mandatory in-person early voting statewide paves the way for a dramatic showdown between simmering political rivals in Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker with just four days of early voting remaining until election day on Dec. 6.
Democratic Senate Candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock Casts Early Vote In AtlantaATLANTA — More than 300,000 Georgians cast their ballots on Monday in Georgia's highly contentious Senate runoff race, smashing theof 233,000 votes set just four years ago, according to Georgia's secretary of state office.
On Monday, both candidates held multiple events around the state. Warnock traveled to Morehouse College in Atlanta, his alma mater, and Kennesaw State College to meet with youth leaders and encourage young people to stay active and vote before ending the evening alongside the Dave Matthews Band at a “Get out the Vote” performance.
In a wide-ranging speech Monday evening in Cumming on a litany of topics from trans rights to student loan relief to rabid law enforcement support to the Bible, Walker wooed the crowd with anecdotes about moments in his own life growing up in small-town Wrightsville, Ga., as a football hero turned successful entrepreneur and shared how those skillsets would translate into office.
For those unable to see either candidate in person on Monday, it's likely they still saw or heard one of them on various radio or TV ads or on sign placards, billboards and text messages in all corners of the state as both parties continue to shell out tens of millions in this runoff race to get in front of as many potential voters as possible.
