Perdue and Loeffler were fine with the Georgia election system in 2018 when Stacey Abrams lost to GOP Secretary of State Brian Kemp for Governor by 55,000 votes via massive voter suppression.

What happened? Oh yeah, their state is turning blue in 2020. Can't have those uppity people of color electing Democrat candidates in Georgia can we?

Senator Predue needed 50% to avoid the run election.... he received 49.7% !
 
Maybe there is reason to call for the Secretary of State's resignation?
(Note is is from the primary election)

Problems voting Tuesday spanned multiple Georgia counties

Voters dealt with a wide variety of problems while trying to cast their ballots in the Georgia primary.



ATLANTA — Georgia made national headlines this week as widespread polling issues greatly impacted election day. We received complaints from about 71 different polling locations in metro Atlanta's four most populated counties.

Our viewers in Gwinnett and Fulton had the most to say – with over two dozen complaints from each county. But with Fulton and DeKalb now under a state investigation, we know there are more.


In Gwinnett, the main complaint was a big one, missing equipment at voting stations. We’re talking about voting machines, printers and scanners. The essentials needed to place a vote.

In Fulton the equipment was there, but voters say it just wasn’t working. Whether it was a lack of training or the machines simply didn’t work, voters at more than a dozen locations had to use paper ballots.
 
Spalding County extends voting hours after issues with machines

SPALDING COUNTY, Ga. — Spalding County officials an issue with voting machines caused major problems at polling places across the county today
 
:rolleyes: Staying with Donnie to the bitter end apparently.

Nothing remotely specific. Sounds like malignant narcissist bullshit.
 
Turning on a fellow GOPer and casting unfounded doubts on Georgia's entire electoral process is an odd way for these two to gin up support from the GOP base for their run-offs in a few weeks.

All that bluster and they never even hinted at what went wrong with the election. They sound exactly like the press secretary today when Fox News cut her off for telling falsehoods. Suggesting voter fraud with zero evidence. This won't end well for these people.
 
All accusations accepted, no facts needed. Post your best.

The Georgia 'primary' was held a few months ago.
