The Georgia Secretary of State's Office recently announced just under 520,000 Georgia voters have already cast their ballot during in-person early voting and on another day of record-breaking turnout across the state, over 122,000 ballots were cast over a 24-hour period.

According to a recent report by FOX 5 Atlanta, with record early voting turnout since the first day of early voting, the state is already surging to nearly double the first-day voting numbers seen in 2018.

"It has been fantastic to see, among Georgians, record early voting turnout every single day this week," Republican National Committee Georgia Spokesperson Garrison Douglas told FOX 5 Atlanta.

This comes as FOX 5 reports the state of Georgia is now viewed as a key battleground state across the country, with great national interest in the state's gubernatorial and senate races. 

"For the past couple of cycles, Georgians have seen how powerful their voices are. They saw how powerful they were in 2018 and how close we got in 2020 when we came out in record numbers," Democratic Party of Georgia spokesperson Chrystian Woods told FOX 5 Atlanta.

According to the report, both the gubernatorial and senate races in the state have attracted big-name supporters from both sides of the aisle, with heavyweights from each party recently joining their endorsed candidates on the campaign trail as the calendar ticks closer to Election Day and the races grow tighter.
