(2,030 posts)After 2020, I have complete faith in Georgia Dems, especially with Stacey Abrams leading the way.
They will find a way around every obstacle the Repubs dare to put in their way.
Thank you again, Georgia Democrats!!!

(6,679 posts)Nearly every Republican in local and state positions can expect a hard, expensive fight to keep their job.
And not just GA. Even places like Montana are seeing a rise in potential candidates and committees.

(12,442 posts)The GOP knows they lost in 2020, fair and square.
They blame it on 100% mail-in ballots and extended voting dates.
They're closing those exceptions now.
And they've got Kegger, Goodhair, Handmaiden, Scalito, Sleepy and Roberts backing them up...
Expect tighter voting rules in '22 and '24...
Work harder to compensate.
