Georgia: Absentee Ballots Requested, so far...

[mysteryowl]

So far, 762,000 have been requested for the Jan. 5th runoff.
In contrast, the general election total of absentee ballots was 1.1 million.

Registration deadline in Georgia is Dec. 7th for the runoff.
All Georgia votes need to verify they are still registered!

1. How can we be sure the ballots get delivered

When we they go out to those requesting them? At this point you almost need to allow for two weeks (and even then I don't trust the USPS) so you don't have much of a window.

2. Is this a bad sign?

Not sure when the cutoff date is? I hoped it was more than 1.1 million

3. A senate runoff will never have higher turnout than a presidential election.

The fact they're at 762K with two weeks left before the deadline suggests nothing less than incredible turnout.

6. This time, we need the same turnout as Presidential election

Georgia is very Republican and so turnout is the game.

4. It may be that people don't trust the

mail right now and will vote early in person or on the day of the election in person.

Or they will request their absentee ballots in the coming weeks.

I doubt that all 1.1 million requests came in right away.
