ATLANTA — A big election day turnout in Tuesday’s U.S. Senate runoff brought even more Georgia voters to the polls than the first election day a month ago, but the flood of votes for Republican Herschel Walker on the final day wasn’t enough to overcome Democrat Raphael Warnock’s advantage among early voters.
More than 1.6 million voters cast their ballots Tuesday, and 57% of them supported Walker, according to state election data.
A higher number of voters, nearly 1.9 million, voted early or absentee, and 58% of them backed Warnock.
