Print In the weeks after George Floyd died while a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck, a group of Orange County seniors formed a racial justice advocacy group and organized a series of vigils to draw attention to the unjust police killings of Black Americans. With the threat of a deadly virus in the air, the elderly group gathered on a street corner, some in wheelchairs, others with walkers in hand and caregivers nearby, and they held up signs that read, “Silence is Violence” and “Seniors for Racial Justice.” People who drove by honked in support and gave thumbs up.

Record Turnout in Georgia, but Mostly Before Election Day

Record Turnout in Georgia, but Mostly Before Election Day Expansive early voting made the in-person Election Day process significantly easier. × Expand ATLANTA, GEORGIA – Georgia voters broke records on Tuesday for turnout in the Senate runoff elections. The massive, half-a-billion-dollar investment in television ads, radio spots, mailers, texts, and phone calls has pushed Georgians to the polls—if not to the edge of their patience—since last November.  Before Election Day, more than three million voters had already cast their ballots, about two million people visiting early-voting sites and one million more utilizing the absentee-ballot process through the mail or with drop boxes. Final turnout won’t be known until the polls close, military ballots are counted, and ballots with any technical problems are cured (that deadline is Friday, January 8).
