We appreciate that our need to explain what happened Nationally, in Battleground States, and across campaigns will lead to different "stories". The coalition of voters needed to produce victories will be different in each state for various reasons (some knowable and some not).
With this backdrop we can share what we have with respect to data in Georgia. In conjunction with @blfraga of Emory University, we have come to an early estimate of the composition of the Electorate in Georgia:
62% White - 30% Black - 3% Latinx - 5% AAPI/Other Groups - This is the lowest the White share of the electorate has ever been in Georgia
16% of the electorate was under the age of 30, up nearly 2 points compared to 2016.

Turnout of the Electorate:
Thanks to @blfraga we can account for population change. We see turnout among young people (18-24) grew by greatest amount, increasing by 13%, while people 65+ grew by 6%. Turnout rates grew substantially among Latinx (+9%) and AAPI/Other groups (+17%).
