Georgia early voters are 'smashing' records

published at 14:27

Voters in the key battleground state of Georgia "are smashing through every voting record", Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has just announced.

More than 3 million people have participated in early voting in the state, Raffensperger says, compared to 2.1 million at this point in the last presidential election.

Two-thirds of the entire election turnout from 2020 have already voted in Georgia.

Joe Biden won Georgia in 2020 by less than 1%.

After Trump lost to Joe Biden, he accused the state of election fraud and called Raffensperger asking him to "find" enough votes that would give Trump the win.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's voting for Kamala Harris in rare endorsement for former California governor

Updated on: October 30, 2024 / 8:29 AM PDT

With less than a week before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris has picked up a notable endorsement from a prominent Republican: former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

On Wednesday, the actor-turned-politician took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to explain his feelings about the election.

"I don't really do endorsements. I'm not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don't trust most politicians," Schwarzenegger wrote.

Schwarzenegger said it made him "furious" to hear America being like a talked of like it's a garbage can — rhetoric former President Donald Trump recently used at a rally in Arizona.

"I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That's why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz," Schwarzenegger wrote.

Democrats See Signs for Optimism in Gender Gap in Early Vote
by Megan Messerly and Jessica Piper
October 29, 2024

Introduction:

(Politico) There’s a new kind of gender gap in the 2024 election: Women are voting early in huge numbers, far outpacing men.
It’s giving anxious Democrats — who see female voters as key to a Kamala Harris victory — newfound hope heading into the final week of the campaign.

Across battlegrounds, there is a 10-point gender gap in early voting so far: Women account for roughly 55 percent of the early vote, while men are around 45 percent, according to a POLITICO analysis of early vote data in several key states. The implications for next week’s election results are unclear; among registered Republicans, women are voting early more than men, too. But the high female turnout is encouraging to Democratic strategists, who expected that a surge in Republican turnout would result in more gender parity among early voters.

It’s impossible to know who these women are voting for, including whether Democrats are winning over unaffiliated or moderate Republican women disillusioned with former President Donald Trump. But the gender gap has been one of the defining features of the 2024 campaign, and Harris allies see the lack of a surge of male voters as an encouraging sign.

“In some states women are actually exceeding their vote share from 2020, which is at this point shocking to me,” said Tom Bonier, a Democratic strategist and CEO of the data firm TargetSmart. “I never would have bet on that.”
