Record Number of Voters Cast Ballots on First Day of Early Voting in Georgia
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, more than 325,000 voters cast ballots Tuesday on the first
day of early voting - that's more than twice the previous record set
four years ago. Meanwhile, a Georgia judge has blocked a controversial
new rule set by the Georgia State Election Board that would have
required election workers to hand-count the number of ballots cast in
each precinct on Election Day.
