About the "record breaking early turnout."

Don't get me wrong. I hope, hope, hope Warnock wins. But of course the early vote in Georgia was record breaking. They had to squeeze early voting into a much shorter time. So there had to be higher numbers each day.

Just sayin' that we Dems should be known for our clear thinking.

I would not be surprised if they eliminate both of them.

while making R voting easier.

So they end up hurting everyone.

6. They will go with only Election Day voting and one machine per precinct.

The white rural areas will be able to vote as normal apart from maybe a slight wait. The urbane and suburban areas will be truly hosed but since Dems outperform Repubs there, the legislature will make that sacrifice in the name of “fairness” and to prevent “fraud” which does not exist.
