What site are using for tracking, all found was the local fox affiliate, which is only showing general precinct returns, not by county?

NBC conveniently lets you compare. Gwinnett might be one county he's talking about.

Also, apparently the initial reports are just mail in ballots from what I am reading.  so what is reported in say DeKalb or Fulton is entirely mail in, not walk up.  AP has a breakdown as well.

No worries, it's going to be close one way or the other.  It all will depend on turnout in Dekalb, Clayton, and Fulton.  Right now, that doesn't look all that promising to be honest.

I mean, it’s also the state Supreme Court. While nothing to scoff at, I’m not sure how much it will translate to the average general election voter that only pays attention for one month every four years.

He appears to be doing about the same statewide as every statewide Dem did in 2022. Tough state to crack for Dems at the state level, but they’ve already proven they will vote for Dems for federal office

It isn't anything to scoff at for sure, but to say this wasn't well publicized would be a grand understatement.  The state party did a piss poor job on that front.  The ballots on the non-partisan portion (all the judicial elections) are deliberately vague.  You quite literally have to know who to vote for going in, which many voters do not (the ballot does not reflect party affiliation).  The only advertising I say was strictly for Pinson (organized by Kemp's people).  All in all, regardless of outcome, a poor job by the state party.

Sounds familiar as I sit here in Texas. 

[Js1 82948]

Also I didn’t realize it’s non-partisan. They just list Pinson as the incumbent. Versus states like WI and OH where Dems won state supreme courts in partisan races

It's a clear suppression tactic, and there were only 3 races that matter, everything else was incumbent unopposed.  The other (somewhat) big race was for the court of appeals, Tabitha Ponder vs. I shit you not Jefferson Davis.

She hasn't been out front as much lately.  I volunteer in the fall with Georgia Vote 411, and to my knowledge she is still involved, albeit noticeably less vocal of late.  If that's her choice, I respect it, she's done a lot, and perhaps it's time for new leaders to emerge.  

[BamaATL 16007]

Bad news, Pinson leads by about 80k votes with a bit over 50% reporting.  Good news, Dekalb, Fulton, Clayton, and Bibb (Macon) not really reporting yet.  I'm not sure it's enough to overcome that amount.

Kind of like Beto.  I think it just wears on you.  Beating your head against the wall and fighting the good fight, only to see that you are completely outnumbered by brainwashed human paraquats.

Burnout is a real thing, for anyone, even if you have success.  Elections are grueling, and I'm not sure how many cycles a normal person can go being that invested, 2, maybe 3?  For someone that spends their entire lifetime in politics I guess that's just how it is.  For the rest of us, I think it's exhausting.  We (my wife and I volunteer in October and early November every couple of years, and that alone is tiring.  

At any rate, I personally think it's critical for leadership to roll over, hopefully the state party is taking notice tonight and new leaders emerge.  Take nothing away credit wise from predecessors, it's just time to build upon that.

Not specific to the POTUS election but I keep reading how the Dems have a shit-ton more money than Reps.  However, I see plenty of Trump and GQP commercials but almost none from the Dems.

As I put in the MTG thread, I’m pretty sure they intentionally went in on a day when they knew he wouldn’t be there. So, you know, not trying to kill him.

[4th&Five 41111]

Presidential immunity! I don't see the problem.

[Longhorn94 2413]

what if the supreme court waits to rule on immunity until after the election to see who wins. if biden wins, no presidential immunity and trump the two time loser goes to jail. if trump wins, we are all fucked and he can do whatever he wants.

This is 100% the GQP play.  Find random-ass reasons to not let Biden on the ballot at all in remotely contested states.  Do all they can to prevent Dem precincts from voting.  Then after the votes are in, shut down the count, declare "election irregularities," and have a GQP lege or state supreme court declare Trump the winner or at the very least, declare the election "invalid" in a plot to throw the whole election to the House.

We have long since seen our last free and fair election.  The GQP has made sure of it.

Bingo.  There is no scenario too extreme.  "Yes, Trump has promised to brutally murder every hispanic and black person in America, as well as everyone who voted against him, and he has already signed contracts to construct the gas chambers, but I blame Biden for gas prices that are back where they were before, and I once saw him yawn, so I have no choice, and I have to vote for Trump."  There's nothing, not a single thing, that he can do to lose their votes.
