Recent data reveals that rural Georgians are voting early at a higher rate compared to residents in Democratic-leaning counties that played a crucial role in President Biden's victory in 2020. Among the state's 159 counties, the top 23 for absentee and early in-person voter turnout were won by former President Donald Trump in the previous election.
Notably, rural counties like Towns, Oconee, and Rabun have witnessed impressive early voting rates, with 69.06%, 65.51%, and 64.46% of their active voters already casting their ballots, respectively. Towns County, in particular, has exceeded the Georgia county average early turnout rate by approximately 15%.
