To say voters in Georgia are eager to vote would be an understatement.

As the Nov. 3 general election approaches, the Peach State continues to break records in absentee by mail voting and early, in-person voting.

As of 9 p.m. on Saturday, the Secretary of State’s office said nearly 1.5 million voters have already cast ballots. To compare, in 2016, after the sixth day of early voting, the total number of ballots cast was just shy of 580,000. That equates to a nearly 150 percent increase in 2020
