Cause he knows he's going to fucking lose the state. He knows he's toast. There's something afoot in Georgia. I think it's highly possibly Georgia and NC will get called before Florida. For all the panicking about Pennsylvania, in the end, it won't even matter.

(528 posts)Georgia went for Trump in 2016 by about 200,000 votes. The good news is in 2020 the black vote there has already increased by 300,000 votes! But with 2 senate seats in play, I have a feeling those voting machines will be whistling Dixie by nights end.
Lot of excitement in Ga though. And a Dem victory there would sure help my restore my faith in the voting process.
