Early voting began in the US state of Georgia on Tuesday, with record numbers casting their votes in the key swing state ahead of Election Day on 5 November.
More than 328,000 people voted in person or by post on the first day of voting, officials said – more than double the previous record of 136,000 in 2020.
Around five million votes for president were cast in Georgia that year, with Democrat Joe Biden winning the state by just under 12,000.
Donald Trump refused to accept the result and he has now been charged on eight counts with unlawfully trying to change the outcome, which he denies.
