| Georgia voters flood polls ahead of crucial Senate contests |
| 2020-12-31 |
| [The Hill] More than 2.5 million voters have cast ballots during the early voting period for Georgia’s high-stakes runoffs for two U.S. Senate seats, shattering records as both Democrats and Republicans mount unprecedented efforts to get their supporters to the polls. The twin contests between Sen. David Perdue (R) and investigative journalist Jon Ossoff (D) and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) and the Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) will determine which party controls the Senate, and they’ve drawn hundreds of millions in campaign contributions and outside spending. Underscoring just how narrowly divided the state is, the vast majority of that money has been spent trying to mobilize voters, rather than persuading the undecided. "It’s a base turnout election. Both of these candidates in both of these races have enough votes to win. It’s about which candidate can turn out their base on Jan. 5," said Chip Lake, a veteran Republican strategist who worked for Loeffler’s opponent, Rep. Doug Collins (R), in the November general election. |

| #6 How many of these voters who are flooding the state are legit? How many are alive? How many will be voting twiceor more? How many are voting on newly printed Chinese ballots? How many are going to be flipped votes. |

| #5 I want this darn election over. I made up my mind on 2016 and it has not changed. All my junk mail is Political ads. Every Door Banger is telling us who vote for. Every Boob-Tube video has 2 Political Adds (1 to 2 mins). Heck my online ROKU games are running Political ads... Where did all the $$$MILLIONS come from for this? Because not 1% of this $$$$$ came from GA. taxpayer pockets. The China-flu and congress have drained that wallet. Want to talk ENVIRONMENT IMPACT. Stop and think of how many trees were cut down to make the paper? How much energy was to used to produce, design, print and distribute this crap. Now I understand why Congress VOTED $25 Billion to the USPS... It wasn't to NOT just NOT deliver Ballots, it was also needed to deliver the mega tsunami of political Bulk-Rate crap and ads. |

| #2 94% of Fulton County votes were adjudicated by Dominion Voting machines. Who you vote for doesn't matter, only the person who decides how to apportion the votes. |
