I’ll start with the good news: early voting numbers in Georgia are breaking records. 168,000 Georgians went to the polls on Monday compared to 128,000 on the first day of early voting in November.
Nearly 76,000 new voters registered in Georgia since the presidential election. So many of you have chipped in to support on-the-ground organizing that’s driving these numbers. We’re very grateful.
But here’s the bad news: many polls show that the Republican incumbents have a slight lead – but only by two points. This race is still anyone’s game, but we need to keep up the momentum and help close the gap.
To make matters worse, Republicans filed new lawsuits this week to suppress votes – targeting the use of drop-boxes for absentee ballots and trying to change signature verification laws to throw out ballots.
But we have a plan. Our allies on the ground have filed four lawsuits to combat voter suppression efforts. Our campaign is recruiting volunteers to phone bank voters weekly and together we’ve raised $757,784 to support grassroots organizing in Georgia so far.
Latino-led organizations like Mijente and GALEO are helping mobilize young and Latino voters across the state. Georgia has one of the largest Latino populations in the country — so GALEO set a goal to reach 250,000 Latino voters before January 5.
There’s no viable path to win in Georgia without mobilizing Latino voters. That’s why your support right now to help turn out Latino voters is so crucial.
Let’s win this,
Team AOC
