Early voting continues in US state of Georgia

GEORGIA, US - NOVEMBER 1: Early voting has continued in the US state of Georgia on Tuesday, Nov. 1, for a midterm election set to be held on Nov. 8. Oct. 17 marked the first day of early voting. Since then, voters have turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots. As of December 2021, Georgia had more than 7 million active voters. Democratic and Republican candidates are competing for a number of posts, including seats in the US Senate, House of Representatives and Governor's office. During the 2020 presidential race, Democrat Joe Biden defeated Republican President Donald Trump with a margin of 12,000 votes in the state. The outcome of next Tuesday's US midterm elections will determine whether Democrats keep their majority in Congress or Republicans take over, but on a larger scale, they could help shape the 2024 presidential race. The Democratic majority in the 435-member US House of Representatives is a small one: 220 Democratic members to 212 Republican members, with three vacant seats to be filled. US House members are elected to two-year terms, so all 435 seats are up for grabs.(Footage by Nathan Posner /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
