What’s the best way to get the candidate you prefer elected? To vote, obviously. On Monday, it was reported that voter turnout among Democrats in Georgia has hit record-breaking numbers. Not only that, but Democrats are outpacing Republican voters in the state.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
“The latest results, still being tallied as absentee ballots are counted, show Democratic turnout in Georgia surpassed 1,060,851 — the previous high-mark set during the 2008 presidential primary when then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton. Republicans lagged behind, with more than 950,000 votes in last week’s contest. But there was no competitive statewide contest on the ballot, since President Donald Trump had already locked up his party’s nomination and U.S. Sen. David Perdue faced no primary opposition.”
This is a good sign as we inch closer to November. It shows that voters are more engaged and enthusiastic about voting.
Joe Biden aims to be the first Democratic presidential contender to carry Georgia since 1992, and state Democrats are racing to flip two U.S. Senate seats and a suburban U.S. House seat.
Stacey Abrams, who is talked about as a potential running-mate to Biden, said she’s “absolutely certain” Georgia will get new attention from the Democrat’s campaign.
“Our responsibility is to build on that, to not take it for granted, and to ensure that every voter — regardless of party — can participate in November elections,” she said of the high turnout. “When you break democracy, it breaks for everyone. When we fix it, we fix it for everyone. We have the numbers and I think we will win, but I want to win because the playing field is even.”
