Roughly 50% of Georgia voters have cast ballots before Election Day so far despite Democrats' accusations that the state's voter laws are aimed at making it harder for people to vote.

"It just shows you that they don't know what they're talking about," Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a Republican, told Fox News Digital Thursday.

"They're just using talking points is all they're doing. All we wanted to do is make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. And that's exactly what we did."

Nearly 3.6 million people, or about 50% of active voters, in the Peach State have cast ballots, either absentee or through early in-person voting, which runs from Oct. 15 through Nov. 1.

Georgia voters have already shattered multiple turnout records, but that did little to temper Democratic critics of the new rules for the 2024 presidential cycle put in place by the state's GOP officials.

"I was just in Georgia. You know they passed a law that makes it illegal to give people food and water for standing in line to vote?" Vice President Kamala Harris told a rally crowd in Michigan earlier this week. "The hypocrisy abounds. Whatever happened to 'love thy neighbor,' right?"
