Only about 3 percent of the state’s roughly 5 million active voters cast ballots early for Georgia’s runoff election, according to the final early voting tally released Monday by the secretary of state’s office. The total leaves observers predicting final turnout on Tuesday not to exceed the single digits or low teens. By contrast, almost 5 percent of voters cast ballots early two months ago during the regular primary, with final Election Day turnout of about 20 percent. Here are the final numbers:
