Georgia tops 1.5 million ballots cast for November election

More than 1.5 million Georgians have cast ballots in advance of the Nov. 5 presidential election, which officials say shows the state’s voting system is working and trusted.

On Friday, Georgia voters surpassed 1 million ballots cast. As of 3:30 p.m. on Monday, more than 1.5 million voters had cast ballots.

That shatters the previous early voting numbers.

“Georgia voters know we’ve made it easy to cast a ballot. It’s really that simple,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement. “Over the past four years we’ve worked tirelessly to prepare for this election by adding Early Voting days and investing in infrastructure, only to be rewarded with the lies of Jim Crow 2.0 and a missed All-Star Game. We’re battled tested and ready, despite the critics.”
