I went down and voted today. My wife and daughter voted Tuesday all 3 straight R tickets in GA.
We live in a rural county in a small town so we know everybody (including some of the poll workers). After I voted I had a little chat with one of them. He said they usually have around 1500-1600 in early voting. This time there were twice that many. People are coming in to vote who haven't voted in years (did not vote for Trump). Many of them had to fill out change of address because since the last time they voted they have moved.
These people are not voting D. We know kind of who they are. They came out to stop Stacey Abrams from becoming governor. The question is are we enough to outvote Atlanta? I just don't think they have the motivation that we do.
Tuesday will tell. I'm nervous but hopeful.
This is an overwhelmingly Republican precinct in a very Republican county. That said, reports of early voting and positive responses by both GOP and swing voters are through the roof.
Earlier tonight I got a man who had just moved from Fulton County to take care of his mom but was too late to change his address. He said he was going to drive back to Atlanta on Tuesday, vote, and return to Saint Marys. Mind you it is a 5 1/2 hour drive to Atlanta, one way.
Now THAT'S dedication. I suggested that he come to our monthly meetings. He said he would.
