for the General Election there was:

Ballots Requested: 1,782,580
Request Rate: 25.5%
In-Person Early Votes: 2,694,763

Total Voted Early: 4,013,155
Early Turnout Rate (of Registered Voters): 57.3%

Overall Vote Total: 4,991,938
2,472,002 Voted Democrat


....we have only 600K mail in requests.......for runoffs

Hopefully more take advantage of just the early vote.....maybe they don't want to wait for results like last time.....
but you know pukes will get rid of locations and make it unbearable in Atlanta

From: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/georgia-runoff-absentee-ballot-request-what-you-need-to-know

To request an absentee ballot, Georgians should first make sure they are registered to vote. That can easily be checked at the My Georgia Voter page. Those not registered, can fill out an online application or register by mail. The deadline to register for the runoff is Dec. 7.

14. Question: can one vote in the runoff even if didn't vote in Nov?

Does Georgia register by party?

We do not here in Texas, therefore in a runoff, anyone who did not vote in the opposing party's primary may vote in the runoff.

So even a hand recount with Repubs standing there looking at every ballot is not good enough. Georgians should be so freakin motivated to vote against his Senate picks.

Republicans as well as Democrats have been the actual vote counters in every county in the United States. If I were a Republican vote counter working all hours for days, I'd be absolutely insulted (and maybe a bit enlightened?) how ridiculous it is to be observed by other Republicans who assume I may be cheating.

One county GOP monthly meeting grew from 50-60 participants to about 300. They had to move their meeting.

Loeffler is trying to paint Warnock as a radical Black man who hates the US. It's a vicious ad.

Perdue claims he was "cleared" because his investment advisors make those decisions. Yeah, sure, after he told them.

Warnock needs an ad calling out her specific lies about his associations, etc.

35. WHY are using the MAIL????!!!
Mon Nov 16, 2020, 10:58 AM

It’s too easy to isolate and delay mail in one state like GA. I’m betting that those ballots never get counted due to either mail delays or rules that eliminate ballots like signature matches etc.

I hope there’s adequate messaging to counter the swindle.
