That is exactly what many Russians say. Why vote if the whole system is rigged? That being said if you overwhelm the polls then cheating becomes much more difficult. That is why people said before the election Trump would have to win past the margin of fraud.

Guy Benson, a fox News nevertrump rino, wants everyone to beleive the election was fair and u biased. He doesn’t want you to beleive what you saw happen when they shut down the counting with Republicans ahead, and want you to beleive that somehow the majority of ballots left to count were heavily democrat.

I think the author has this all wrong. I'd suggest the low GOP turnout in the Georgia races was driven by two things:

1. Laziness. There are far too many voters who simply don't care enough to get out and vote for a special election.

2. Awful candidates. Even Donald Trump couldn't motivate his own base to get out and vote for the two inept losers who were running on the GOP ticket.

Do FReepers fight for truth? Do they even know who the enemy is? Do they think that DC somehow resembles the government which USConstitution requires?

The GOP governor and SoS went into the runoffs with the exact same setup that was used in the 11/3 steal. That's all one really needs to know about why these two seats were lost. More worthless RINO damage control from Twonhall.

The two GA candidates were completely uninspiring. If Collins would have been running instead of Loeffler, I think he could have gotten Perdue over the hump by bringing out more “R” voters.

We lost the election, the left brought out their side in unprecedented numbers

We got screwed by not taking advantage of mail in ballots

We told out people to vote on election day and risk the virus

That cost us ballots

I haven't seen a really effective presentation of the evidence anywhere, to be honest. Even if Trump's team wasn't able to present it in court, you'd think they would have weighed in via an open letter or guest editorial in the NYT or something, laying out their case. There should have been a powerful, definitive public presentation of the evidence at some prominent media outlet "of record." Every American should have been aware of the most glaring two or three instances of election fraud. To me Trump's biggest problem is that the public wasn't convinced, in large part because Team Trump never made a serious effort to convince the public.

GOP hasn’t seen anything YET their SOLID BASE that have fought for them for DECADES are DONE!! I am one through being a battered wife by the GOP!!!“

Exactly! We should focus our time, money, effort and votes at the state level. Make DC irrelevant. Many state level elections can be won with less than a thousand votes. A solid conservative state can codify and nullify DC socialism. Once that happens it matters little who has the majority in DC.

Come 2022 DC republicans are going to be cast out to sea without a paddle.

RE: Awful candidates.

As if the alternative ( the Democrats ) were not even more awful ( an understatement ).

“This won’t be popular here, but I fully believe it. People believed the election was stolen, that their vote didn’t matter, etc., and stayed home.”

Correct. No many how many R’s voted there will always be more D votes because the D’s count the votes.

No evidence was presented, just conspiracy theories

That has been my problem with this and I explained it numerous times.

The left beat us, they good a job of doing it and they worked for 4 years perfecting it while we just made stupid memes and called them names.

I admire their work and effort here.

The cherry on top for them was them making us think they stole it. They love it.

Our side is keeping our side home. We could have won both of the GA senate seats but instead of building up support and getting our side out. We told our side that the system was “rigged” based on conspiracy theories of idiot lawyers looking to write their next book. Which kept people home and the Dems won both senate seats

Good for them

They out smarted us

We need to home to reality on all of this.

The public lost faith in the voting system in Georgia. At first, it was a loss of faith in the SOS. Then that spread to a loss of faith in the Governor, the Lt. Governor and the AG. The perception is that there are too many ties to China.

There has been no open, transparent audit of the elections. This has to be addressed.

The legislature has taken little to no action to address the November election or future elections. So people are much less motivated to vote for any of the incumbents in the future. Sure, a few laws will be passed, but not enough to ensure valid elections. And the computerized system is tainted now. Any system that has the potential to be compromised remotely cannot be trusted for a fair election. It is as simple as that.

There were rumors that the legislature was afraid to take action because of the potential of Antifa/BLM riots. There were probably other things to affect their actions that have not been made public.

I anticipate that we are going to see Georgia turn blue, even though it is a red state.

To solve the problem, I would recommend an independent body be established to secure the architecture of the voting system. But there are a number of things that need to be done, and anyone who pushes full reform is going to be targeted. So it probably will not get done.
