Nearly 500,000 Georgians have taken advantage of the early voting period in the state, which began September 22nd. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the numbers from the Secretary of State’s office. Of that 500,000 amount, more women than men have already cast ballots. The 500,000 figure is more than advance voting in the 2004 election. Secretary of State Karen Handel has said she’d like to see about a million Georgians vote early, to help relieve the expected crush at the polls November 4th.
