With 43 percent of the expected vote reporting, Raffensperger’s lead continues to hold up in the Georgia secretary of state primary. According to NBC News, Raffensperger’s lead is basically the same among Election Day voters (50 percent to 33 percent) as among early voters (51 percent to 33 percent), which is pretty surprising given that the Election Day vote has favored Trump-endorsed candidates in previous primaries this year.
