Parties push to mobilize voters for elections
ATLANTA (AP)
- Republicans are hop
ing to ride the coattails of
Gov. Sonny Perdue’s rich
warchest and strong polling.
Democrats are battling to
make sure their party faith
ful overcome the GOP jug
gernaut as get-out-the-vote
efforts kicked into high gear
in Georgia this weekend to
get voters to the polls for
Tuesday’s elections.
Lacking the marquee draw
of a presidential race, the
state’s top election official
has predicted turnout this
year will be modest at only
48 percent of the state’s 4.4
million registered voters.
That isn’t slowing work by

Early voting numbers up
ATLANTA (AP) - Between
absentee ballots and advance
voting, about 8 percent of
Georgia voters had already
weighed in by the end of the
day Thursday on Tuesday’s
election, officials said
Friday.
Statewide, 352,723
Georgians had cast ballots
with one day remaining of
early voting.
The same law that opened
at least one polling place
early in every Georgia county
in 2004 also allowed so-called
“no fault” absentee voting.
In the past, Georgians were
required to provide a reason
they couldn’t be at the polls
on election day.
With Secretary of State
Cathy Cox predicting that
48 percent of active regis
tered voters will turn out,
University of Georgia politi
cal science professor Charles
Bullock said early ballots
constitute their most signifi
cant percentage ever of the
entire Georgia vote _ a trend
he says likely will continue
growing in elections to come.
Nearly 140,000 Georgians
cast ballots at the polls in
the first four days of advance
voting this week, according
to election officials.
The number of ballots cast
through early voting, which
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2006 ♦
ended Friday, is expected to
be the state’s second-highest
since advance balloting was
first allowed.
In the 2004 general elec
tion, which included the race
for president, about 387,000
people went to the polls to
vote early. Just under 70,000
people voted early in July’s
primary elections.
Chris Riggall, spokesman
for Secretary of State Cathy
Cox, who oversees elections,
said Cobb and DeKalb coun
ties had the state’s high
est number of early voters
through Thursday. Cobb had
tallied 11,886 votes while
DeKalb had 10,344.
Political experts predict
the advance votes, and the
more than 200,000 absentee
ballots already cast, would
tend to favor Republicans.
“Research has been done
indicating that more afflu
ent folks are more likely to
take advantage of the absen
tee or early voting,” Bullock
said. “That may mean
Republicans already have
more votes in the ballot box
than the Democrats do.”
He and others predict that
in coming years, as more
Georgia elections take place
with advance voting, more
people will take advantage
of it.
