Georgia special election early vote is averaging 75% of the November early vote. The early vote turnout is strongest in Democratic regions and the upper North East (a Republican area). Early vote is averaging 57% of *total* November vote, but exceeds 70% of the total turnout in DeKalb and near that in Fulton county (Atlanta).
The special election early vote is **weaker** relative to the November Early vote turnout in the well populated NW Georgia region, this is 14th congressional district of QAnon afficianado, Majorie Taylor Greene.
Savannah , a Democratic stronghold, is relatively lagging in turnout, compared to other areas in the state. I believe relatively good turnout in some “purple” sections of the state, eg the piedmont NE around Athens, may indicate exceptionally precise database efforts to identify and turnout votes in these mixed regions.
Relative regions of Democratic strength is shown by the November Biden fraction (I’ve appended icons appended to show the relative total voter participation).
It is, of course, unknown if the relative weakness of Early Vote turnout in “red” regions will translate to relatively lower in-person turnout on Election Day. However, the underperformance of strongly Republican regions indicate that these votes are lagging in the early totals, and Republicans have created a “hole” for themselves to dig out of.
Georgia separates “mail” votes from In-person early votes. A ratio can be calculated of “Mail” votes vs inperson early votes for each county. This ratio varies widely from 90% mail to under 10% mail votes. However, a comparison of the November ratio and the special election ratio follows a strongly correlated trend in the ratio — indicating to me that the two voting populations are similar (and lower turnout is simply indicative of lower participation).
