Swing state officials think polling sites could be 'ghost towns' after early vote surge

Election officials think the early vote in many battleground states has been so robust that on Election Day itself, polling places could be a "ghost town," The Associated Press reported Friday evening.

In Georgia alone, according to the report, more than 4 million votes could end up being cast before Tuesday, through a combination of mail-in ballots and early in-person voting. To put that into perspective, the total vote in Georgia in 2020 from all combined methods was less than 5 million.
