Raffensperger: Floyd and Polk lead early returns

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger just stepped to the podium at the election night press center, bringing a mix of lighthearted humor and critical logistical updates as the first massive tranches of runoff data begin freezing into place. In a lighthearted moment that drew laughs from the press corps, Raffensperger highlighted a high-speed logistical race in northwest Georgia, revealing that Floyd County was the absolute first in the state to successfully upload its early voting numbers, followed immediately by neighboring Polk County. The Secretary joked about the fierce proximity of the two jurisdictions, saying, "Now I don't want to overstep, but these two are actually married, so I wonder if there was a competition there. As they say, winner winner chicken dinner."
