The runoff for the senate races is on January 5, 2021.

There is a local race runoff in my Georgia County on December 1, 2020.
The biggest push is to get those who already voted a Democratic ballot back to the polls or to request & submit absentee ballots.

Frequently Asked Questions Voting in a Primary and Runoff Election
1. Why do I have to choose a party?
The State of Georgia does not register voters by party and does not permit voting in more than one party’s primary, so voters wishing to participate in the primary election must choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot.
2. What if I want to vote, but don’t want to choose a party?
Voters may opt for a Nonpartisan ballot. The Nonpartisan ballot will only contain the nonpartisan races, which are mostly judicial and are mostly unopposed.
3. Does my party choice in the Primary Election have any bearing on my choices in the November General Election?
No. You are not restricted by party in any way during the November General Election.
4. If I voted in a particular party’s primary, may I switch to the other party for the runoff?
No. When you choose a party during a primary, you may only participate in that party’s runoff. You may not switch parties for the runoff.
5. If I don’t vote in the primary, may I vote in the runoff?
Yes. If you don’t vote in the primary, you have not yet selected a party preference and may vote in either party’s runoff.
6. If I vote in the Nonpartisan Election during the initial voting, may I participate in a party runoff?
Yes. If you vote Nonpartisan during the initial election, then you have not yet chosen a party. This means that you are eligible to participate in either party’s primary runoff.

I’m going to be working to get my Democratic, Hispanic woman DA candidate, who is a former state house rep, elected in the December 1 runoff.

I’m going to phonebank for Ossoff and Warnock, as well as work on the ground and door to door in my Joegia community.

We need the help of every Democrat in the country so we can win these Senate races!

Make registration a major post-election push in every state.
This election proves voting is safe, easy to do and important.
Let's use this to convince every voter to get involved.

This election should force Congressional legislation to create a national standard for voting.
Let's remove the methods each state can use to screw with voting.

Almost every state has the next elections in the Spring for local races.
Wisconsin will vote on Feb 17, 2021. That is 103 days from today, Fri Nov 6, 2020.
That state could use a few hundred thousand more votes.
