The total revealed that more than one million female voters voted early, according to the state\u2019s statistics.<\/p>\n<p>The number of early voters exceeded the total from the recent November midterms in Georgia, when about 1.5 million voters cast their ballot before Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the high level of early voting, the total is still lower than in the 2020 presidential election, when approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/georgia-election-2022-25m-early-votes-cast-a-midterm-turnout-record\/R5ZEYSPNMJH3RKVUMUZEGOXG5E\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2.5 million Georgia<\/a> residents voted early.

JOIN US AND SAVE 30%.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The previous 2021 Georgia Senate runoff that led to Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock\u2019s victory included 4.5 million voters. Warnock\u2019s win resulted in a 50-50 tie in the Senate, giving Democrats the advantage as the vice president provides the tiebreaking vote.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Warnock won 54% of early voting in November, with Republican hopeful Herschel Walker winning 56% of Election Day votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate runoff was forced after no candidate won at least 50% of the vote last month. Warnock won 49.4%, with Walker at 48.5%. Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver won 2.1%.<\/p>\n<p>The short period between the general election and the Senate runoff is due to a Georgia voting law passed in 2021. The change led to a four-week runoff period instead of nine weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The state\u2019s Senate runoff follows a similar situation in 2021 involving both of Georgia\u2019s U.S. Senate seats, when Warnock and Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff were both forced into a January runoff following the 2020 general election and defeated Republican incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, giving Democrats an advantage in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of the race between Warnock and Walker has major national implications as Democrats currently hold a 50-49 advantage after the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>A win by Warnock would give Democrats an advantage in Senate committee selection and other areas in the chamber. A victory by Walker would leave the Senate at its current 50-50 level. Republicans won the House last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 1.8 million Georgians have voted early in the state\u2019s Senate runoff election scheduled for December 6, including a record-high 353,000 voters on Friday, the final day of early<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1763523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1764026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1764026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1763523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1764026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1764026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1764026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
