(The Center Square) – As the last voters cast their votes in Georgia, former President Donald Trump leads the polling average by just 0.8%.

Even as the state had historic early voting turnout, both candidates continued to encourage voters to cast their ballots on Election Day.

Contrasting as much as party colors and platforms, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris spent Sunday barnstorming for votes and support among those still yet to cast a ballot for America’s president. Across the country and particularly in battleground states, there’s been significant turnout for early in-person and absentee voting. Trump, clad in his signature red hat titled Make America Great Again, opened with an outdoor rally in the borough of Lititz, Pa., population just more than 9,000 in Lancaster County. From there it was on to Kinston, an eastern North Carolina town of about 20,000, where the hat was black and the message atop it the same. His evening was to conclude in Macon, the heart of Georgia with population of more than 150,000.
