Georgia’s early voting surge and a look at Gen Z’s influence in the 2024 race

Politically Georgia

With early voting nearing its end, more than 3 million Georgians have already cast their ballots in the presidential election. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein, and Bill Nigut are joined by Ryan Anderson of Georgia Votes to analyze the latest trends and voter turnout.

 

We then hear directly from Gen Z voters. UGA College Republican Michael O’Leary explains why he switched his voter registration from Florida to Georgia and encouraged other out-of-state students to do the same. Young Democrat Parker Short also shares what he hopes to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris and her surrogates, and highlights local Gen Z candidates on the ballot.
