The WaPo tells us:

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. — Georgia voters flocked to the polls Saturday to cast their ballots in the Senate runoff, taking advantage of an extra day of voting brought about by a lawsuit filed by Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D), who is defending his seat against Republican Herschel Walker.

In more than two dozen counties across the state, thousands of voters from both parties came out to vote, some waiting for hours in lines stretching around the block for the chance to cast their ballot early for the Dec. 6 runoff.

The secretary of state’s office reported that at least 70,000 people voted Saturday. The first Saturday of early voting for the general election drew 79,682 people, more than double the 2018 number. Early voting will continue through Friday.

Those taking advantage of Saturday voting included college students visiting home for Thanksgiving, police officers and ambulance workers with busy work schedules, lifelong voters who make it a point to always cast their ballots on the first day they are allowed, and retirees just seeking an escape from holiday guests.

All of which is pretty great. We need to thank Marc Elias for this extra day of early voting.

    The fascists only win if the normies don’t vote. Looks as though the normies are doing their part in record numbers…

    The Fascists hate it when we make voting easier. Here in my state of California, we are all allowed mail-in voting. As well as them being post-paid, there are boxes all over the county for drop-offs. I don’t see how we could make it easier. Now we need to do the country like that, and then watch the Fascists explode.
