7:20 PM: Breitbart’s Matt Boyle on the ground in Georgia, citing a GOP campaign official with knowledge of the matter: In Hall County alone, there has been a massive increase in Election Day turnout–which significantly favors Republicans. In November, there were 15,000 approximately Election Day voters there. This time a huge surge to approximately 23,000. At an approximately 70-30 percent split favoring Republicans among Election Day voters, that represents thousands–maybe as many as 7,000 plus–extra votes for the GOP candidates this time in that one county alone as compared with November 2020. The GOP campaign source told Breitbart News that’s just one county, and expect to see similar trends across the board in several others.
From Boyle in Atlanta: A photo of the stage here at the Perdue and Loeffler GOP victory party. Hundreds are gathering, as are all the media in town, here. Ossoff and Warnock, the Democrat candidates, are not having any in person election night event meaning that all the media in town for the election are here.

One part of Georgia to watch in the #GASen runoffs tonight is an area I like to call “Ruby Red North Atlanta.” Cherokee, Forsyth and Hall are the three largest Trump counties in the state. Loeffler+Perdue need high turnout here if they want to win tonight. #ElectionTwitter #gapol pic.twitter.com/d0C0T27qcU

6:05 PM: Dems excited about DeKalb County:
NEW: Turnout today in heavily-Democratic DeKalb County, GA has now surpassed Election Day turnout for the November contest. DeKalb broke for Biden in the general election 83.1% to 15.7%.
— Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) January 5, 2021
DeKalb election day turnout approaching 46k, if these figures are accurate, putting it on track to surpass the general. The big question, of course, is whether this simply augurs for a big D turnout (as this is a very D county) or a big Election Day turnout (the key to the GOP)
— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) January 5, 2021
Republicans optimistic about Forsyth and Cherokee counties.
A few thing I’ll be looking for in GA:
Turnout in Forsyth County (Rs) and Clayton Clayton (Ds). I suspect the margins mirror November, but these are base rich voting centers.
Cobb and Gwinnett margins against Nov. presidential numbers.
% of Black voters compared to November.

5:59 PM: On CNN, Stacey Abrams says Democrats are on the way to a “permanent Democratic majority” in Georgia, which she says is now firmly a “battleground state.”
Abrams also says Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is “no hero” because he is not on the side of voters even though he is defending the election he ran last November.

Early voting statistics:
GEORGIA, what we know:
– Early voting: 3,093,375 votes have been cast per AP.
– Of those, 1,018,381 were mailed-in or electronically sent and 2,074,994 was early in-person.– Advance votes in Nov. were 4,011,822 w another million ppl voting Election Day.
SO …

— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) January 5, 2021
80% of Georgia’s Nov. vote happened before Election day.
Based on run-off early voting, if that holds, it would mean 773,343 votes likely in-person today.
That’s right around the *minimum* day-of turnout the GOP is hoping for, assuming that votes cast today favor them.

“Black Belt” areas could be more important:
On election night, the votes of Albany and the surrounding ‘Black Belt’ made a strong contribution to Pres. Elect Biden’s narrow win over Pres. Trump in Georgia. That area may prove to be even more pivotal in this week’s Senate election. #gapol https://t.co/KKYAzAf3sD
