(ATLANTA) – Today, Greater Georgia released an analysis of the 2022 midterm general election, the highest-turnout midterm general election in Georgia history. With more than 3.96 million votes cast, the election saw increases in participation from almost every demographic group - including significant turnout by newly registered voters and disenfranchised voters who were alienated by doubts about election integrity in 2020.

"With every election since the passage of SB 202, Georgia voters have broken turnout records at the ballot box and proven what we've said all along: that Georgia's new election integrity laws make it easy to vote and hard to cheat," said Greater Georgia Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler. "Not only did every Georgian see few issues at the polls and quick results on Election night; we also saw incredible participation from newly registered voters and disenfranchised voters. Through the December 6th runoff election, Greater Georgia will continue working to bring these citizens back out - and to make sure that every voter knows that their vote will count, and their voice will be heard."
