With These Figures, It's No Shock Why Republicans Got Swept by Democrats in Georgia

After all the vote totals were analyzed, it’s no shock why Democrats swept the GOP in the Georgia runoffs. Comparing Election Day 2020 to the January 5, 2021 runoffs, there was a massive dip in Republican voter turnout. Some 500,000 Georgia voters decided to stay home with Republican districts seeing the bigger declines in turnout. Jon Ossoff beat Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue by 55, 354 votes. Raphael Warnock booted Kelly Loeffler by 93,659 votes.

Due to the lack of GOP turnout, Georgia has two Democratic senators. Sorry, twohorribleDemocratic senators. One wholly owned by China, allegedly, and another with a whole host of issues. Our own Reagan McCarthy ventured down to the Peach State multiple times to cover the situation on the ground. The election in its closing days hit numerous roadblocks. For starters, Perdue couldn’t do final get-out-the-vote events due to one of his staffers testing positive for COVID a week from Election Day. He had to quarantine. Second, Mitch McConnell decided to gum up the works for $2,000 COVID relief checks, which had majority support. After months of grueling economic pain due to the lockdown regime, Congress decided to derail a relief bill because the checks…were too big. At the same time, President Trump shoulders some of the blame for going after Georgia Republicans more than the Democrats. The lingering allegations of voter fraud, some legitimate some not so much, cast further doubts on Republican voters who did not trust the system. The 2020 presidential race was stolen, so why should they participate in the Senate runoffs was the mindset here.

Guess I won't be holding my breath for the next fair and honest elections. Seems like, in a lot of instances, the country has gone from AmeriCANs to AmeriCAN'Ts. Sad days with a lot of anti Americans in control. The majority of which have ZERO clue how well off they are. If the conservatives and Trump were who they claim, they wouldn't be around to make those claims. Unlimited dumbassery. Welcome to Dumbassistan.

Seeing the GOP join with the democrats and the media over the last four years was predictably going to have disastrous consequences for any republican solidly identifiable as a member of the establishment.

Such as both Loeffler and Perdue.

The GOP has a real problem on its hands when its own voters don’t want to vote for it anymore.

Are we counting turnout, or votes actually counted.

Asking for a friend.

Don’t worry, Democrats will prove to the American public why they can’t lead. For some reason Americans like democrats when they are not in power and once they take power quickly realize why they are not in power.

Happens in Jersey all the time.

Vote against Republicans because the fat guy is mean and sat on the beach. Oh crap, now the democrat is keeping his promise about raising taxes, we need a new governor now!

Buyer’s remorse will be high

Which means our side will win with mediocre swamp rat scum republicans we hate.

Our two party system sucks

Thanks Lin Wood, and your dim-witted supporters.

And that was the end of Mitch’s plan to be the most powerful Republican in Washington. Trump was warning about this for weeks. Anyway, I am glad they both lost.

Curious of mass mail-in ballots, dirty voter rolls, and Stacey Abrams-Mark Zuckerberg ballot harvesting and voter boxes had anything to do with it as well?

Yep. These were absolutely winnable. Both of those seats would have been held by 2-3% points if the “all is lost” coward crowd hadn’t thrown in the towel.

Lin Wood did his Soros master’s bidding and the morons on our side fell for it.

Election fraud is all the democrats have.

Attempts to blame it on anything but fraud is low IQ.

Moribund Mitch was congratulating Catatonic Joe while the GA polls were still open. I bet a lot of people turned around and went home, for good.

I’m sure a lot of people were demoralized because of massive voter fraud in presidential election and same voting infrastructure in place. Why should they vote if someone is going to stuff ballot boxes? I’m not saying I agree with that, but I’ll bet that what happened.

Thank you. Several people very clearly pointed out that what L. Wood was doing was very dangerous. Unfortunately at the time many though he was some sort of Conservative Saint when the truth is he’s either deranged or working for the Dems (or if neither, then gullible and fed disinformation by the Dems that he then propagated far and wide).

Oh, Sidney Powell too. Still waiting for that ‘kraken,’ or was it shot by mistake when the ‘CIA’ were in a ‘shootout’ with ‘Delta Force’ in Frankfurt!?!?

Dims will prove they cannot lead, but then prove they have the vote counting apparatus firmly under control.

1. Does woods or avanatti win the wack-O-doodle crazy lawyer title.

2. Guess, based on what we’ve seen over the past few months, being a lawyer doesn’t require a lot of brain power. Just sayin’......

Well GA will likely be under limited martial law by next week so the Dems won’t be figuring into the equation. Right now the people who have figured it out are stripping the shelves at supermarkets. We are heading out to get a few more things today.
