If Trump were running this year, lots of these new Democratic congressmen wouldn’t have stood a chance and the close governor races would have been blowouts for the Republicans.
Speaking of ‘manufacturing’ votes, wouldn’t it be easier in an off year to manufacture them? More people show up when the Presidential ticket is up for grabs. Knowing that you can probably determine through past voting practices those which voters show up and which voters don’t show up in off years... I imagine a lot of people voted yesterday from their armchairs... I.E. They didn’t vote, somebody voted for them.
Like Reagan hes more popular than the party.
Turnout in Savannah was massive in the suburbs. Some lines were so long people didn’t finish voting until after 10:00 pm
I voted in Dekalb County GA, one of the Atlanta counties.
I showed my ID and the girl said “you already voted absentee”.
The conversation was infuriating.
Her: “you already voted absentee. You requested a ballot right?”
Me: “I neither requested nor received a ballot”
Her: “did you bring the ballot with you?”
Me: “I neither requested nor received a ballot and you just said I voted. Does that mean someone returned an absentee ballot in my name?”
Her: “yes, but did you bring the ballot with you.”
Me: “I never requested or received a ballot.”
Her: “ok but did you bring it with you?”
This repeated for 3-5 minutes before another worker finally got involved.
They finally made me sign a document and said that they marked my absentee as not to be counted. Would love to know how that happens... but whatever.
It makes me wonder - I typically don’t vote in midterms because my district is deep blue. Is someone gathering absentee ballots in the name of people who don’t normally vote in midterms?
Savannah election official told me this is how they cheat. Marcus comes in and says, “ my mama, sisters, and grandmother asked me to vote for them.” And he is allowed to do it.
