Before we get into that, let's chat numbers real quick.
We are up to nearly 1.6M mail ballots requested and over 430,000 of those ballots returned for 2020.
The primary in June had 1,548,865 applications for mail ballots and 1,149,921 votes submitted by mail.

So we've already seen more mail applications than the full primary, now we watch them come in.
Early in-person voting in June was only 326,522 people. We will absolutely surpass that number by Wednesday night's update.
It's gonna get big fast.

Now, some site updates.
First, the default view for everything has been updated to votes. You can still toggle to view application data both statewide and at the county level. But with in-person voting starting tomorrow, we're going back to the "Votes" part of Georgia Votes.

Second, there's more information on all of the US House and state legislative races. You can see an example of this in the image below. 
A couple more still to go that will roll out over the coming days.
- Updating the data on the rollup pages that link to specific races (rather than breaking out vote by race, it'll show applications, votes, etc) and making it sortable

- More graphs! I updated the javascript library powering the timeline so now I can use that to do additional charts and graphs on the other pages.
- Data on ballot rejections by county. This is going to be a key thing to watch, assuming that the counties actually enter it.

Hopefully that will make these last 3 weeks the best yet. But let me know if there's anything else you want to see.
