UF note: Georgia's county-level "Ballots Issued and Accepted" and "Ballots to Date" downloads (from the state's election-data-hub dashboard, https://sos.ga.gov/page/election-data-hub-unofficial-turnout) are compared against the statewide absentee file, county by county, using whichever is higher - this is how same-day in-person early-voting activity (which the statewide absentee file doesn't carry until the next overnight refresh) gets folded in. No district or demographic breakdown is available from these county-level downloads.
