1st day of Georgia's in-person #earlyvote: 69,023 people cast in-person votes, doubling the total early vote. Updating 2018/2014 same-day comparison of total early vote by race shows African-Americans are 2.7x their 2014 level, Whites are 1.6x. Bodes well for high turnoutpic.twitter.com/hpOvPeCAPp
Near parity among Afr-Am and Whites in mail ballots did not persist among the in-person voters. Afr-Ams are 29.9% of all registered voters and 34.6% of all early voters; Whites are 54.0% of reg voters and 54.2% of early voters. We'll see if the Afr-Am enthusiasm gap can hold...
There are signs of engagement among GA Hispanic and Asian-Amer voters. Hispanics are 9.0x their 2014 same-day #earlyvote level and Asian-Americans are 7.9x. These are coming from 2014 lows: only 243 Hispanics had voted at this time in 2014, compared to 2,177. Asians 304 vs. 2,402
It will get more diverse with weekend voting 
Do we know to what degree this is an indication of turn out, and to what degree this is simply people switching from regular voting to early voting?
I saw on another site that about 35% of early voters this time had not voted in the last midterm in 2018, so a significant percentage are new and previously disengaged voters.
Do we have differences in turnout by age for these data sets, @ElectProject?
Do we have a breakdown by age and gender?
Do you know if this has Latinx merged with white?
Georgia breaks out those demos.
I don’t know the elections policy in GA, but in CA the comparison to prior years suffers from a lot of policy changes that increase the early vote, not related to enthusiasm (more all-mail counties, more absentee voters). Anything like this in GA?
Are whites that didn’t vote in 2014 more likely to be Dem?
I sure hope so, but it's hard to say. Turnout among young voters was pitiful in 2014 (I was among the many who didn't vote that year), and I have reason to believe that the demographic of young voters in GA is more Dem-leaning than their parents. But many, many factors involved.
What’s up with other? Huge no?
