The Left's Fear Is Palpable After Republicans Overperform in a Georgia Election
RedState ^ | July 14, 2021 | Bonchie

Last night, several special elections happened in various legislative districts in the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Wisconsin. After the results came in, a common theme was apparent: Republicans had overperformed compared to the 2020 election.

Yet, it was the Georgia election that raised the most eyebrows. In a suburban Atlanta district that saw its Republican vote share hit an all-time low just under a year ago, voters swung 22 points further toward the GOP yesterday.

Now, because these special election results heavily favored Republicans, the media will not use them as a bellwether. Further, I’m not saying they are dispositive of what will happen in 2022. Yet, it is relevant to note the shifts we continue to see in these special elections regarding suburban districts where the GOP saw big vote share losses in 2018 and 2020. These are the places that will deliver a Republican majority next year if that is to happen.

In other words, there’s a lot for Democrats to be worried about here, especially in a state like Georgia where they had convinced themselves the tide has permanently shifted. But you don’t have to take my word for any of this. Stacey Abrams’ organization put out a response to last night’s elections and the fear is palpable....

Without voter fraud the Dems can’t win.

I remember the days when a Republican winning an election in Georgia would not have been news, but something to set your watch by. This is good news, but conservatives have to get their act together on the national stage or our next president will be a younger, more competent leftist than Sleepy Joe.

That’s why the Media Mogul-Dem Party insists on making it easier to commit fraud. They don’t want voter ID or anything else that stands in their way of flooding every election with fake ballots.

I don’t think so. The results prove that the 2020 election was riddled with fraud.

By 2022 it will be the Lambda variant with a side order of fries.

Yeah, voters swung 22 points. Uh huh. Sure. Maybe the count a year ago was a bit off? Maybe the real swing to GOP was only 10 or 15 points from a year ago?

I am praying that 2022 will be such a Dim disaster that 2024 will look even better.

Yup—these were minor elections not worth big time Democratic cheating...

Could be one of those, but my money is on some racial incident which they will stoke into a national wildfire - again. This will ensure Stacy Abrams, Eric Holder, Soros and the racist gang can light the fuse and drive black turnout.

Exactly. A big swing to the GOP may well have already happened in the 2020 election, but massive fraud hid just how big the swing was.

“The Left’s Fear Is Palpable.”

Oh BS, the Left is in control and doing something else horrible every day just like the last 5-6 months. They stole an election and the American people aren’t protesting, aren’t in the streets, aren’t striking, aren’t doing anything but jawboning on the net at each other, like always.

They have cheated forever. Only brainwashed and insane people would vote for them aside from those getting direct financial and social benefits.
