"As of Saturday morning, 92 Georgia counties have exceeded 50% turnout. This is unprecedented in Georgia history," the office said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the office said it had identified four people who may have attempted to vote multiple times during that period-- an incident they say is now under investigation and shows that "safeguards" in the state work.

Harris to air personal message to voters in NFL game ad

In the two-minute spot, to air during NFL games on Sunday afternoon, including the Lions-Packers matchup featuring teams from two crucial swing states, Harris issues a personal message to Americans, telling them that, "throughout this campaign, I’ve seen the best of America, and I’ve seen what is holding you back and weighing you down."

Notably, the vice president does not once mention her opponent Donald Trump, her oft-used foil in recent weeks, as she has sought to paint him as too dangerous and unhinged to re-occupy the White House.

The FBI issued a warning Saturday about two false videos circulating online that "relate to election security."

One of the videos falsely claims the FBI apprehended "three linked groups committing ballot fraud" and another was related to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, according to the agency.

"These videos are not authentic, are not from the FBI and the content they depict is false," the FBI said in a statement posted on X.

"The FBI is working closely with state and local law enforcement partners to respond to election threats and protect our communities as Americans exercise their right to vote," the agency added.
