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.
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.
" 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.
It's our last daily update before we start getting actual results and there have been 3,093,375 votes recorded. That's an increase of 51,679 over yesterday, with ballots coming from 153 of 159 counties.
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.
