A Georgia election official is looking for an apology from the administration for the record voter turnout that followed the Biden administration's lawsuit against the state.
How many turnout records do we need to break before Georgia's leaders apologize? The Chief Operating Officer of the Georgia Secretary of State's Office told Fox News Digital that there was a continued surge in voting in the state.
Georgia has seen a record early voting turnout since the first day of early voting on Monday, according to a press release.
The press release said that the number of voters who have cast their ballot so far is just under 400,000, which is a 63% increase from the same time in the last election.
There's a lot of politics going on ahead of the mid-term elections.
The Secretary of State's office told Fox News Digital that they were on track to break records. More than 200,000 Georgians voted by mail for governor. We have received over two hundred thousand requests for Absentee Ballots this year. The total for mailed-in ballots will be higher than in the previous year. We have broken the early vote record so far, and we are close to the early vote number in 2020.

Presidential years tend to have higher turnouts.
The White House debated whether or not to call Georgia's election law 'Jim CROW 2.0' after record early voting.
A potential apology from the governor's campaign was reached out to by Fox News and they received a statement saying high voter turnout doesn't invalidate voter suppression allegations.
Jaylen Black, press secretary and spokeswoman for theAbrams campaign, told Fox News Digital that high turnout isn't synonymous with voter access. Keeping lines short, preventing our ENet system from crashing again, and empowering voters to access the ballot are some of the things the SOS should be focused on.
The Georgia election litigation of Jim CROW 2.0 was thrown out by a judge.
The ENet online early voting system was down for a short time on Monday.
The crash lasted less than ten minutes and is an example of high turnout.
Due to the record-breaking turnout, the e-Net system went down for eight minutes on the first day. Mike Hassinger is the public information officer of voting and elections. Everyone who wants to vote can do so.
'Jim CROW 2.0?'. After Georgia destroyed early voting records, conservativism exploded.
The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital's request to apologize to Georgia.
The election integrity bill that Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law is considered to be Jim Crow in the 21st century. It needs to end. We have a duty to act.
The legislation contained provisions that would deny the right to vote to many voters, according to Biden.
CNN and MSNBC ran stories about voter suppression claims in Georgia before the election.
The Department of Justice has not commented on the lawsuit it filed against Georgia.
Georgia set a new early voting record during the primary season.
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told Fox News Digital that the DOJ's lawsuit was a "loser."
When contacted by Fox News Digital, the White House and Department of Justice did not respond.

An Obama appointed judge sided with Georgia in a lawsuit that challenged its election practices.
"Judge Jones' ruling exposes this legal effort for what it really is: a tool used by a politician to weaponize the legal system to further her own political goals," Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement at the time.
