On his third trip to Georgia during the Senate runoff campaign, Vice President Mike Pence urged a crowd of hundreds in Augusta to cast absentee ballots for Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.

This comes after President Donald Trump’s questioning of the security of absentee ballots before the general election appeared to dampen absentee turnout for Republicans in November.

“We’re on them this time,” Pence said. “We’re watching. We’re going to secure the polls. We’re going to secure the drop boxes. So get an absentee ballot in today and vote. Don’t wait. Get it done.”
