Poll: Half of voters plan to cast their ballots early — with a stark partisan divide
NBCOCT 2024
Georgia has emerged as a critical battleground in the 2024 presidential election, with record-breaking early voting numbers on Tuesday highlighting its pivotal role. This is particularly significant given Georgia's potential to decide the electoral outcome between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. With its competitive demographics and history of close results, Georgia's voter turnout and election administration processes could prove decisive in determining the next president.
As Georgia reports unprecedented early voting turnout, Judge Robert McBurney's banning the hand counting of ballots comes at a crucial moment for the pivotal battleground state in the 2024 presidential race. McBurney's decision, citing the "11th-and-one-half hour" nature of the changes, protects established vote-counting procedures amid record voter participation. The ruling reflects broader tensions between election administration and attempts to alter voting procedures in key swing states.
There's a 54% chance that the Republican nominee for president in 2024 will win Georgia, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
