Over one million early votes were also cast in person. Interestingly, Republicans are likelier than Democrats to vote in person as opposed to the absentee ballot or voting via mail.
In Georgia, early voting came to a close on New Year’s Eve. With that said, Georgians who have yet to vote can make their voice heard in the runoffs on Tuesday, January 5.
Republicans and Democrats alike are reliant upon voter turnout in these runoffs. This is why Loeffler and Perdue are working overtime to get out the vote. Both Republican senators have traveled throughout the Peach State, meeting with voters and directly speaking to them.
Getting out the GOP vote
Perdue and Loeffler have support from Republicans across the nation. Top GOP leaders from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Donald Trump Jr., Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Ivanka Trump, and others have implored Georgia Republicans to get out and vote. Even President Trump held a rally last month in support of the two GOP incumbents.
This Monday, the president will be back in Georgia to get Republicans who haven’t already voted to the polls. Trump’s rally on January 4 will take place in Dalton at the Dalton Regional Airport. Loeffler will be in attendance; Perdue, who is in quarantine due to recent contact with a COVID-19-positive staffer, won’t be able to make the event, but will campaign virtually.
