Q: GA Guv: How do Dem candidates usually do? Any GA Du'ers on now?

Wondering what a good dem turnout has been in past years. Would you expect a dem to get 30%? 35, 40?

In one majority black, low income neighborhood, more than 80% of people I spoke with had voted early, the rest had voted today, and only two residents needed rides to the polls.

The historic candidacy of Stacey Abrams combined with the hatred for Trump, KKKemp and the racist GA GOP, seems to have resulted in historic levels of early voting and Election Day voting by black Democrats, especially black women.

Heavily Democratic Clarke County has not yet posted results.
