Why is Trump in Georgia??

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.

I just now Trump wouldn't be there if his campaign wasn't worried about it. And with Harris and Obama going there, it's just more confirmation they think they can bring it home!

Just because Georgian Republicans are so good at cheating, suppressing the vote, etc.

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 night’s end.

Lot of excitement in Ga though. And a Dem victory there would sure help my restore my faith in the voting process.

More Georgians Registered to Vote Than Ever Before
Over 5 million of those came through automatic registration at the Department of Driver Services.
AllOnGeorgiaby AllOnGeorgia October 6, 2020

Georgia has hit a new record high registration level. As of October 6, Georgia had 7,587,625 registered voters throughout the state. Over 5 million of those came through automatic registration at the Department of Driver Services, a program of the Office of the Secretary to make registering new voters and updating voter information simple and easy.

Georgia voters have taken advantage of the numerous convenient and easy ways to register. Of the 7.6 million registered voters according to preliminary data, 5,002,856 of them have registered through automatic registration at the Department of Driver Services. Another 734,000 of those registered voters did so online through the Secretary of State’s website. 1,850,464 registered with paper registration applications.


...snip...

The 7.587 million total registered voters for the November 2020 general elections represents a more than 600,000 registered voter increase since November 2018.

Historically, Georgia has had incredibly high voter registration rates. According to the 2016 U.S. Election Assistance Commission Survey, 95.4% of Georgia’s eligible voting population was registered to vote in 2016. The number of overall registered voters increased from 6.657 million in November 2016 to 6.944 million in November 2018.
