WATCH: On the Last Day of Early Voting, Ossoff Encourages Georgians to Head to the Polls, Make Their Voices Heard
Sen. Ossoff: “In these final hours of the last day of early voting, and with a long weekend of work ahead to turn out the vote on Tuesday […] we have shattered all-time records for youth turnout in a midterm election in Georgia, and it’s not even close.”
Decatur, Ga. — On the last day of early voting, Senator Jon Ossoff and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill encouraged Georgians to vote early and make their voices heard, highlighting high youth turnout as Black and young voters “are heading to the polls at a significantly faster clip than during the last midterm election,” according to new reporting from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The AJC reporting outlines that “early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%.”
The AJC’s reporting follows a new poll that shows Ossoff’s strength with a high approval rating of 55% including strong support from independents, even after Republicans have spent millions of dollars on TV and digital ads targeting him.
Earlier this year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Democratic Party of Georgia has built huge organizational strength under Ossoff’s leadership, having started the coordinated campaign earlier than ever before.
As part of today’s event in Decatur, Sen. Ossoff and Gov. Sherrill met with volunteers before sending them off to knock doors for Democrats up and down the ballot.
Sen. Ossoff: “We will look back on what we did in these last few days and recognize that it was among the most impactful hours of our lives. Let’s do it not just for ourselves, but for our kids, and for our grandkids, and for our country.”
