Yes, Forsyth is very willing to make early voting easy, because, you know...all the 'right' people live there. It also has very high turnout and voter registration rates overall (the latter is the highest in the state as a share of CVAP, at over 90%), so it'd only make sense that its early voting numbers are huge. Early voting is so predominant now that the difference between early and election day groups usually isn't very meaningful in counties like Forsyth.
The way it usually goes is that the first few days of early voting appear to be as Republican (or even more so) than the state as a whole, but Democrats gradually increase their share of the vote day-by-day. By the end of early voting, the early vote demographics make things look better than they'll actually be once ED votes are counted.
