Because if data and figures were the only things that made progress, then it would have happened already,&quot; Sauve said. &quot;You have to touch people’s hearts and minds and it’s much easier to do that when you’re talking directly with people.&quot;At the end of early voting last Friday, more than 2.5 million votes, a record number for midterm polls, had been cast in Georgia.Analysts say all eyes are once again on the state. The senate race between Republican Herschel Walker and incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock could determine which political party will control the chamber.Meanwhile, incumbent Republican Governor Brian Kemp is once again battling it out with Democrat Stacy Abrams. Both have made efforts to court Asian American votes.Garnace stressed that Filipino Americans need to do better at the ballot box.&quot;Based on AAPI data which is a survey that they did this year, even though Filipinos are very enthusiastic in the 2020 election, actually the highest group that was very excited to get out the vote, we’re actually last place when it comes to turning out to vote out of all the ethnic Asian groups out there,&quot; she pointed out.Garnace and volunteers are preparing to do exit polling across the state.
