Strong early-vote turnout gives Dems hope in Georgia runoffs

[Mr Person]

Remember, folks: if the vote totals change and the GOP wins, it was rigged. Massive voter fraud like you've never seen before! SAD!

 

[Chomsky]

This is what I am saying my friend, I live down here and see the shenanigans they are willing to engage in to remove votes.

We thought Kemp vs. Abrams was bad, they will go to the outer limits to help Republicans retain the Senate. You watch.

I'm sure.

But it's not just the shenanigans, but the attitude. I suspect some blocs of the 'Old South' might just die hard.

But that being said, I find Georgia a fascinating state, and can't wait to visit. Savannah's on my bucket list! Also, I'm hoping Georgian Liberalism will be moderated due to the influence of the South.

I'm not sure where you got the 625K number, but my O.P. article claims early voting in Dem districts is exceeding that of the Presidential election.

So, are you saying the total GA early-ote is 625K down?

I got it from the graph found here towards the bottom. (Which I’ve had trouble reloading)

Early voting in crucial Georgia runoff surpasses 2.5 million

A total of 2,570,593 votes have been cast in Georgia's runoff elections, the Georgia secretary of state's office told CNN Wednesday, with Georgia's two US Senate seats and control of the chamber in the balance.

Early voting for Georgia runoffs has mostly mirrored general election turnout
Georgia voters cast their ballots for the US Senate runoffs in numbers closely matching turnout during early voting for the November elections, but the number of ballot returns flattened during the Christmas holiday weekend (Dec. 24-27). Number of votes cast each day during the early voting period:

 

[Chomsky]

If that's true, then Republican voting is really down. Maybe they're all waiting for election day.

Yeah, I didn't want to jump the gun until Overitall responds & clarifies, but that was on my mind.

I recommend you sit home and never vote again against the all powerful Democrats who are taking over the world. At least you won't get COVID.

I guess you people think you'll get a seat at the table if the Marxist take power. How misled you are. Don't you know erstwhile Marxist supporters are often the first to be eliminated? So says the former KGB boss Yuri Bezmenov:

 

[Lovebug]

Let's face it. Unless the fraud from early voting is stopped in its tracks right now, Democrats will never have a reason to stop cheating.

I hope not too many voted early, given the developments re the stimulus checks.

You'll be crying if the Marxists succeed in taking over the country. What makes you think you'll be spared?

It isn't the Marxists holding up much needed funds for very desperate people, and right before this important election. Time will tell.

It sure is. The Democrats refuse to cut pork in exchange for the larger disbursement to the people.

Thanks!

After looking at the source graphic, I suspect the answer might be in the text there & in you posted graph:

[Chomsky]

Of course it doesn't make me happy but I'm not surprised.

Yes, but let's not forget, 'It's still Georgia'. I suspect hose 'Old South' attitudes die hard. This is surely not fait accompli! In fact, I still think it's unlikely Dems will pull it off (both seats).

If they steal votes like they did in the general, it makes no difference how big a lead the GOP candidates have. Trump actually won by a landslide.

You might be right in the impact of the holidays having on it (on a weekend no less). Although, I wouldn’t personally let it stop me from voting. Especially in light of the importance of this particular election. Must be a lot of Christians in Georgia.

 

[Aunt Antifa]

I've already resigned myself to 2-4 years of obstruction, but at least with sanity at the helm.




I would love to be proven wrong (but then there's Manchin)

I have zero hope. But I’m rooting for Dominion and Ron Raffensperger to save the day for us!

Most Republicans are Christians who play fair and expect others to do the same.

Strong early-vote turnout gives Dems hope in Georgia runoffs

Democrats are encouraged by stats that show their voters are overperforming with early voting set to conclude later this week.

www.politico.com

It appears there's some positive signs for Dems in the GA early-voting stats. The article is chock-full of details, and I've included some excerpts above. But, I do suggest reading the article - if you're so inclined.

I dont need to read the article to know that Republicans should prepare to be disappointed again. My gut feeling is Georgia is going blue this cycle.

That seems to be what the graph indicates. And it may mot just be the voters choice, but that their government facilities are shut-down for the holiday.

Hah! Even when you take what should be my side, we still disagree!

My gut says the Dems will fall short, because . . . Georgia. I find it hard to believe the Old South will relinquish so easily. But I must admit the numbers as reported in the article are reasonably positive.

I do swear, that if GA turns Blue, I'm going to visit when it's Covid safe! I want to get a feel for what Southern Liberalism is like, and how it sits alongside the remnants of the Old South. Hopefully, it's moderate & sensible and can still reference its conservative roots. If Georgia goes San Francisco, I think I'll cry.

Please continue with your right wing dramatic fantasies.

Yes, I did note the flatline around the holiday but even afterwards there wasn’t a sharp increase that I would expect if voters put off voting during that time. Still, other then the initial mirror image of the general overall it appeared to taper off. Maybe I’m looking at it wrong.

 

[bearpoker]

It sure is. The Democrats refuse to cut pork in exchange for the larger disbursement to the people.

Why are you supporting a socialist give away?

 

[FlaMike13]

Let's face it. Unless the fraud from early voting is stopped in its tracks right now, Democrats will never have a reason to stop cheating.

Where have you found fraud in early voting? Do you have eveidence?

 

[Chomsky]

I see it taking-off at the same rate, after the holiday break. The two lines appear to me to be perfectly parallel.

 

[Chomsky]

LMAO!

Actually, the line parallels the line from the general election after the Christmas plateau. You're right that there isn't evidence of a "pent up demand" that would have made for a sharper angle of assent in the following days. There is nothing in the article about how the votes are distributed. If Chomsky's article is accurate, then this might reflect a reduced Republican turn out.

 

[Overitall]

Parallel but not equal. Perhaps it will catch up in the next few days but at this point 625,000 less is a lot.
