Ok, rested and caffeinated. Let's take a quick peak at early vote numbers so far.

First, thanks to all you weirdos checking out the site. Hopefully the new AWS backend is working and it won't freeze up like it did at a couple points last year.
Second, a couple hundred of you have found the new page I launched last night. It looks at a few daily demographic statistics (for in-person voting only) and compares them to 2018 and 2020. Right now it's just gender, White/Black, and 65-Plus.

It's a weird electorate so far. We're basically seeing 2020 volumes, with 2020 racial demographics, but 2018 age demographics.

In other words, LOTS of old folks.
Now, one reason we could be seeing this is that a lot of these older voters voted by mail in 2020.

493,000 people over the age of 65 voted by mail in 2020, and only 141,000 folks in that age group have requested a mail ballot this time around.
The data point is that young voter turnout is up over 2018, but down compared to 2020's general and runoff.

We've seen 25,764 voters under 40 so far. In previous years that number was:
2018 - 15,609
2020 - 49,157
2021 - 54,217

A little earlier file update tonight! We're up to 573,598 total votes, with ~519k in-person and ~54k by mail.

This is a lot of votes, yes. But also, articles like this one are way off. And if the SoS office is giving people this impression, rather than journalists just getting it way wrong, I hope they stop.

Through 4 days of early voting in 2020 over 1.2 million people had voted: 574k in-person, and 650k by mail.

While the in-person numbers have been comparable, the mail vote is an order of magnitude lower.

Socialism is randomly picking Britons to be PM until everyone is guaranteed £115k/year

It’s weird that at some point my brain just clicks and starts understanding the German language in this interview.

File processing...
123,834 people voted early today across Georgia. That's nearly 53,000 more than in 2018.

I'm working on a couple new views for how this compares to other elections, so keep an eye out for that this week.

The pandemic has been a wave of ups and downs for everyone, but jeez this GoFundMe op-ed broke me in a way very few things have.

Here are just a few quotes pulled from it.

usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
" Since March, an American has started a COVID-related fundraiser on GoFundMe every two minutes."
"In fact, when the pandemic began, 1 in 3 fundraisers on GoFundMe were related to COVID-19, and the activity has persisted at an alarmingly high rate."

Thanks to my buddy running around Cherokee County I’ve got a few precinct-specific results for you.
Woodstock
Perdue - 1,088 (69%)
Ossoff - 497 (31%)

Loeffler - 1,071 (68%)
Warnock - 513 (32%)

Was 66.3%/33.7% to Trump in a 2-party comparison on 11/3 with 959 total votes. Slight over-performance on sig more votes. Given the low early vote numbers, Rs would hope for more.
Neese
Perdue - 1,176 (71%)
Ossoff - 471 (29%)

Loeffler - 1,154 (70%)
Warnock - 492 (30%)

Was 70.0%/30.0% to Trump in a 2-party comparison on 11/3 with 1,060 total votes. Similar story to above.

This isn't all of the early votes as we'll still have some received today both via the mail and drop boxes. Plus there may be some more ballots that have been received but not processed yet. So we can probably expect another 50-70k to get added during the counting.
Top-10 counties for votes added yesterday

9,722 - Fulton
6,194 - DeKalb
4,555 - Cobb
