Why Georgia has poor voter turnout compared to North Carolina?

[iceman]

Georgia and North Carolina have almost the same population, with Georgia having more or less 200,000 more yet North Carolina always beat Georgia with the total number of votes cast every elections year by about 200,000-300,000, why is this so?

-NC is a swing state, GA is mostly not, and hasn't been treated as such in most recent elections.
-GA is more Black. Although Black voters have tended to vote at similar rates to White voters in recent elections, any slight turnout difference will matter since GA is around 10% more African-American.
-GA has voter ID, NC hasn't for most elections in the recent past.

Anecdotally, I know NC is also a state where early voting has historically been heavily utilized, boosting turnout--but I don't know enough about Georgia, might be true there too.
