The initial tally could hearten Democrats hoping for a “blue wave” of wins in the state, the crown jewel of which would be the Georgia governor’s mansion, held by Republicans since 2003.

Georgia’s Democratic voters have turned out in force in early voting, an encouraging signal for the party as it tries to wrest control from Republicans after blistering defeats two years ago in the 2016 election.

The initial tally could hearten Democrats hoping for a “blue wave” of wins in the state, the crown jewel of which would be the Georgia governor’s mansion, held by Republicans since 2003.

Voters will get their final chance to cast a primary ballot Tuesday.
