showed up to vote. That's what always goes wrong. In GA-6's special election, 40% of registered Democrats in that district did not vote.

Get that 40% out to vote and we'll win every last freaking time.

I can't get out the vote in Georgia. Georgia Democrats have to do that. I can't get the vote out anywhere but near where I live. So, that's what I do, as best as I am able.

That's the story the past tells. Too few Democrats who are registered to vote turn out to vote.
