I'm going to predict Warnoff and Ossoff will get pretty close to the same number of votes

Can't see any Dem saying, "well Warnock is fantastic and so is Perdue so I'm going to split my vote".

Which leads me to the conclusion that turnout is going to be primary. And registering as many new Dem voters as possible is where some serious money needs to be spent.

Georgia's Senate run-off races are a GOTV effort. We get our people out to vote and we will win.

Mailed ballots are being sent out November 18, but at least the ones we can’t get ballots for can show up January 5th. Early voting begins December 14th.

There should be drivers willing to take people to drop off ballots.


I have a feeling in those states where repukes won was because mail in ballots were stored at the post office in Democratic areas and never delivered.

That is working to get out the vote (like Stacey Abrams)?

The candidates will get plenty of money. Abrams will spend it wisely and with a longer term positive impact.

Ossoff just seems to set money on fire.

Turnout is everything.

And attack the weak link in the other "team". The lady candidate is the weakest link. Her husband is the CEO of the NY Stock Exchange. Is it any wonder that she was accused of selling off stocks, when she got information about the pandemic, before anyone else? She should have lost in the last election. Politics ain't beanbags so she should be prepared to answer some questions.

If rat fuckery commences with throwing out or otherwise not counting all of the votes, it will be national news. If Georgia thinks all eyes are on it now, just wait.

I suspect some of the Trump turn out will not be there. I have to think some of the country club Republicans who just vote Republican because they do will not be motivated to vote. I think some of them have to be so turned off by Trump that they won't participate.
