Georgia breaks all time voting record

ATLANTA, Georgia (WDEF) – Secretary of State Brian Kemp announces that the state set an all-time record for number of votes cast.

More than 4 million votes have been counted so far, which tops the 2008 record of 3.9 million.

He estimates voter turnout is 74%.

But this record turnout did not represent a flood for Donald Trump like it did in other states.

Trump won Georgia by the lowest margin since Bob Dole won the state over Bill Clinton in 1996.

The final numbers will not be released until the vote is certified.

“After a year of liberal groups accusing me of voter suppression, Georgians were mobilized to go to the polls in record numbers,” stated Secretary Kemp. “I was proud to lead this effort with the development of our Online Voter Registration System and energizing Georgia’s voters early in 2016 with the creation of the SEC Primary.”
