Sweet Jawja Special Elections

[Zonahorn 8,079]

For the senate

Just think of R reactions when Kamala walks in to break the tie.

[BradInATX 9,208]

Fuck no. Too soon. I'm gonna party on the general for a bit then I'm taking a politics break.

[Neonmoon 38,130]

Already donated. Fuck Mitch and his lifeless hands

[South Austin 52,564]

Worried that the Rs will turn out more with Trump off the ticket and the Senate on the line. Don’t fuck this up Georgia!

[Voldemort86 2,259]

Why couldn’t we wait until December to start this thread?  The next few weeks are for celebrating and laughing at Trumps feckless court attempts to overturn this entirely legitimate and 100% fair result.

My concern is sort of the opposite. Ds won't turn out with Trump off the ticket. However, I think (hope) they're feeling especially empowered and turn the fuck out to do it again

[South Austin 52,564]

If the Ds are smart, they’ll pour money into ads flossing Georgia media making this another election about Trump. Continue the purge.

Stacey Abrams needs to be weaponized. The black voter turnout will determine this 

[Bama Chick 28,596]

I have to think there’s some kind of psychological effect in seeing your state flip. If you’ve been in the minority in a solid one party state, there’s the real temptation to not bother voting because it seems like your vote doesn’t matter.

I hope that seeing Georgia flip blue may motivate some people that would vote blue who sat out this time.

Alabama is no where near to flipping but Doug Jones’s victory gave a kick to the state Democratic Party.

Of course, the flip side is probably true too - a not insignificant number of Republican voters may have stayed home thinking their state was comfortably red.

However it goes, I think we’re going to see both record turnout and record amounts of money spent.

[AUinHsv 579]

I can't remember where I read it bit wasn't something like 200K voters taken off the rolls? Need to get them back in a hurry. You know the powers in that state are already working overtime to reduce minority voters.

[APMP 688]

These special elections could cement Stacey Abrams as one of the great Dems of all time, and she isn't even running.

[RDCanecutter 26,465]

So what are the residence rules in Georgia?

[BurntOrange&White 39,960]

So should Biden get involved and try to help win these two seats? I think so just because there is nothing to lose really. If you lose both your presidency is held up by Mitch McConnell. If you win both or split is best scenario and it would give his presidency more power to enact his plans. 
 

Some expert on CNN said it would make his presidency weak though if they lose both which I didn’t understand their reasoning for that. 

[Mole 4,333]

I just applied for my absentee ballot. So will Obama just rent an apartment in ATL for the next two months?

[Mole 4,333]

According to the SOS calendar, the registration deadline is 12/7, so American hero Stacy Abrams needs to get to work.

[BurntOrange&White 39,960]

If I’m Democrats I have Biden, Harris, Obama, and other wildly popular democrats down there and campaigning. 
 

I am also urging Bernie Sanders, even though he’s not a democrat, to stfu and telling Pelosi the same as well as keep her far away as possible.

I've got a Georgia birth certificate stashed somewhere. In a non-Covid times I might apply for dual-citizenship and go rent a friend's couch for a dollar, even with the chance that weepy-eyed Kemp would have his Georgiastapo out hounding my path.

Hell, our old house still looks great on Street View. I bet even odds my Daddy RDCanecutter Sr. is still registered to vote there.

[somebody please post the above on TexAgs because fuck em.]

She’s a hero.  She may not have gotten her skull cracked by a white supremacist on an Alabama bridge, but she’s also a civil rights hero.

I’m no law dog, but my reading of the law doesn’t have any minimum time in the state, although you have to move with the intention of staying. There’s also something about moral turpitude, which could be a sticking point.

Moral Turpitude clauses, AGAIN?

Hell, somebody get me the answers to the ethics test, gonna have to study up on that one.

i was thinking about this last night and sort of thought the same.  he can only tangentially touch on it, because he'd be starting the presidency with a big loss, imo.  i think he has to keep his hands clean.

Of course, was just saying they need to put the weight of the party behind her.

You only forgot the two biggest names in the south, bill clinton and Jimmy carter.  Imagine having two presidential motorcades coming to a senate rally?

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Beto getting PxP ready to win in Georgia!

[orangecat92 306]

It would be a nice going away present for Carter. Can’t have too much longer.

I just bought them some hand sanitizer and wipes to go along with my donation.

Y’all help them out.

[Willfully Horn 8,046]

Ask those candidates why they haven’t congratulated the President, and Vice President, elect.

[Mole 4,333]

Well two of the candidates are calling for the removal of the SOS.

[Satchel 6,948]

Both Dems should hammer home how both Republicans favor abolishing the ACA and have done nothing to save rural hospitals in Georgia. Both should point to how Republicans have worked to undo coverage for preexisting conditions and will leave poor Georgians in the lurch. If they can peel rural support from Perdue and Loeffler, the Dems could very well pull this off.

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Not that anyone is surprised but these special elections are going to be gross.

[WBT 20,653]

I wonder if Democrats have learned yet that nationalizing local races and pouring in tons of out of state money often backfires 

[henrygandorf 29,194]

ossoff gave a solid, but short interview on axios tonight. i’ve been consuming content on him like i did with pete 20 month ago. he’s basically jewish pete. he’ll be a force in the future even if he loses to shitbag perdue. sad when being a racist locks down 45% in a state. 

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Democrats didn’t nationalize local races.

24 hour cable news, the internet, and social media have nationalized almost every news event - not just elections.

And GTFO trying to “both sides” out of state money. I’ll be happy to pull up the FEC reports for McConnell and Graham and Collins.

[henrygandorf 29,194]

it also had to do with the advances of actblue and the overall terribleness of a few gop senators.

Count me among those who is irritated by a flood of money into local races. But I vote third party, when the Republic isn’t on the line. Texas Rs don’t seem to mind.If it’s Koch money, they welcome it.

Since when is a Senate race local, though? Maybe where you live. Texas is huge. It’s tough for me to see a state race as local. 

Georgia isn’t a small state.

30 days for voting. You need a electric bill that shows your residency if you don't have a Georgia DL.

We suffered in the general for not knocking doors.

We need to start knocking on doors again.

Gloves, hand santizer, masks. KNOCK ON DOORS

We need to flood Georgia with smart, safe, and responsible door knockers to turn out the votes.

GOP sending Rick Scott, Rubio, and multiple out of state politicians to start holding rallies in GA. But sure, Dems are the ones nationalizing a local election 

[bad_teammate 13,224]

If Biden himself isn't in Georgia that's a massive failure.
