Stacey Abrams ran unopposed in this primary, so this is not an exact comparison. However, both years had state wide primary races for both parties. The comparison will follow:
Republicans turned out almost 500,000 more voters than the Democratic Party did, which could not have been said in 2018. This is great news for Republicans in what is now considered to be a purple state!

(These end results are my guesstimates!) 2022 Governor Primary: Republicans - 670,000ish Votes (Some vote is still out), Democrats - 175,000ish Votes (Some vote is still out)
Stacy Adams is a straight-up nut job. All the good people, of all colors, in Georgia need to vote against her since she will destroy your State in record time.
Also, the good people of Georgia need to closely monitor the voting irregularities and the illegal practice of vote harvesting. The Democrats know that they’re on the losing side, so they will cheat and scream racism if they don’t get their way.
Georgia is an OPEN Primary State. This means a Democrat can request a Republican primary ballot instead of a Democrat primary ballot.
How many Dems voted in the Georgia Republican primary to oust Trump's picks?
Right. From another poster although I don't know where they got the stats:
Georgia has no party registration and Democrats are free to vote in Republican primaries. Nearly a quarter million of them did so Tuesday, since there were no competitive statewide races in the Democrat primaries and very few at the local level. Nearly all of these voted for Kemp and Raffensperger to diss Trump. About a quarter of the Kemp vote was from Democrats, as was nearly half of Raffensperger's total. Had there been party registration, Raffy would have headed to a runoff and been soundly defeated.
Given these turnout numbers, the only reasonable explanation for Adams and/or Warnock wins in November is voter fraud.
Ahh yes tinfoil hat time again....
Why is the very basic concept that a competitive Primary is going to have higher turnout than a non-competitive Primary so hard to comprehend?
FWIW, I'm not arguing that Republicans do not have a enthusiasm advantage or that things in November for them don't look strong for them, however turnout comparison in a Primary that is competitive to one that isn't competitive is not a barometer for potential November turnout.
