Voter turnout--less than projected

Voter turnout numbers in Georgia were not quite as robust as what elections officials projected. Guesses of 80% or more were not seen in the state Tuesday. Numbers from the Secretary of State’s office indicate just under 67% of registered voters turned-out--that’s a slight increase from the mark of 66.3% for 2004’s presidential election. There was the big boost in voter registration this year, which added about half-a-million new voters to the rolls.
