Turned off by the chaos that followed the 2020 presidential election, Republican voters who skipped Georgia’s runoffs for U.S. Senate are starting to come back.
Nearly one-third of the 748,000 voters who sat out the 2021 runoffs, which flipped control of the U.S. Senate to the Democratic Party, turned out for last year’s general election, according to an analysis of voting records by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Faith in democracy is gradually being restored among those voters, two and a half years since former President Donald Trump’s loss and his false fraud claims disillusioned many conservative voters as liberal turnout boomed for Democratic U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
