Question: The state of the GA runoff

Posted on 11/22/2022 10:30:09 AM PST by HamiltonJay

So the GA runoff is 2 weeks from today.

For those in GA whats going on on the ground? Other than some posts regarding getting early voting started earlier and that suit.. haven't seen much.

Walker lost by .9% of the vote, and libertarian got 2.1%

It's hard to see Warnock losing much of his vote, so is there a shot a walker getting any of that 2.1%? Is the GOP ground game strong enough to seriously mount the turnout needed to win?

Last runoff Democrats managed to do better than a combination of the 2 D's running in first round combined, even with lover overall turnout in the runoff.

Is the GOP/walker ground game, strong enough to get the turnout/vote needed to have a shot?

Libertarians are the transexuals of the body politic. They know it’s wrong to fellate but they just can’t help themselves.

They think they found a reach-around, work-around, sorry, a WORK AROUND!

Lost of Warlock tv ads, some for Walker. Gov Kemp is actively campaigning with Walker this time. Outside help is here for both including Obozo coming Dec 1. The court case allowing voting this Saturday is being appealed by the state. GA has a law that no early voting can take place within two days of a holiday. Both Thurs and Friday are state holidays here. The campaigns are out every day crossing the state but I do not know about their ground games with phone calls etc. No calls here but we did get our absentee ballots yesterday.

The Libertarian vote in Walker/Warnock was much larger than in some of the other races. I suspect that there were Republicans who voted Libertarian because they were skeptical of Walker, but would never vote for Warnock. If that is true then some Republicans who voted Libertarian could show up and vote Walker.

As far as actual Libertarians, some may vote Walker, but I think the majority of Libertarians are all about virtue signaling, they just want the rest of us mortals to know how superior they are.

It is a cliche, but this will be a turnout election. The Rats won the 2021 runoffs because GOP turnout was severely depressed.

A GOP candidate without Walker’s obvious limitations would have won by 250,000 votes.

His issues are magnified by the two man race. I’ve considered this a lost cause from the beginning.

Anyone gonna monitor, video record, etc the counting? Or will they just wait for the usual middle of the night blackout?

Yep, this will be a repeat of the GA January 5 2021 runoff.

Has to be, just as Kari losing in AZ had to be.

The challenger usually wins in a runoff over an incumbent.

I fear Warnock will win rather handily, but GA people won’t say much about why they back him.

“The answer: It’s fixed”

Yeah, I know, deep state and all of that.

Question. If the fix is in, why didn’t the deep state print off a few more votes for Warnock and avoid a runoff? Warnock is at 49.44% of the vote, he just needed to hit 50%+1 vote to win outright. While you’ve got the printers going, seems like a no brainer to go ahead and print a few more.

The Repubs don’t have much of an incentive to turn out, considering the Senate is already gone.

The women, blacks and Gen Z voters will back Warnock. It won’t be that close.

Kari hasn't lost and I don't think she will.

Hammer and scorecard will decide the race.
Watch for the televised returns to subtract 5000 votes from Walkers totals and Shazam, add 5000 votes to Warnock”s total...in the blink of an eye
