BRACK: Perfect storm from COVID-19 resulted in changed primary 

By Elliott Brack  |  It was a perfect storm that changed a primary election. If our world had not been in the COVID-19 pandemic, the outcome of the Georgia Primary could have been different. 

Here’s why. Never before have so many Georgians voted by absentee ballot  Statewide, there were 1,149,469  absentee ballots cast, according to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  (Poll officials were overwhelmed with counting this many absentee ballots.) Back in 2016, as a comparison, only 36,986 absentee ballots were cast in the primary.
