Election officials in Georgia have confirmed that absentee ballots were sent out by the US Postal Service as scheduled and were not affected by the recent hurricanes. This assurance comes as the first day of early voting commences in the crucial swing state.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced that over 250,000 voters have already requested absentee ballots, with expectations of this number rising to around 300,000 in the coming week. This accounts for approximately 5 to 6% of all voters participating in the absentee voting process this election cycle.
