Voters are casting ballots in Georgia’s midterm election in higher numbers than ever before. The Secretary of State’s office reports that as of Sunday morning, abut 740,000 Georgia voters have cast ballots in early voting, including nearly 80,000 who voted on Saturday.

When combined with absentee voting, total turnout in 816,862. The office says early voting turnout is expected to increase during the last week of early voting and voters are encouraged to take advantage of next Saturday’s voting session.
