“The Republican National Committee’s partnership with the Georgia GOP and county parties is touting major strides in its ground game,” writes Emma Hurt at Axios. “By the November 2018 election, the group had just barely hit 1 million door knocks. This year, the partnership known as ‘Georgia Victory’ hit that milestone in mid-July.”
The GOP’s 2022 efforts include major outreach to black, Asian, and Latino voters all over the state. The Republican National Committee has 75 dedicated field staff and is increasing its presence in Georgia. Additionally, Gov. Brian Kemp’s campaign has raised its ground game, while former senator Kelly Loeffler’s Greater Georgia organization is pitching in.
“Jason Shepherd, former chair of the Cobb County GOP and former candidate for Georgia Republican Party chair, told Axios the RNC’s involvement reflects the state’s new purple status,” writes Hurt. “‘The state party needs the help,’ he said, adding it became a ‘victim of its own success’ and ‘got lazy’ once it gained control of the legislature and governor’s office two decades ago.”
The RealClearPolitics average for the governor’s race has Kemp with a 4.8-point advantage over Abrams. RCP still has Georgia’s gubernatorial election as a toss-up.
“The polling also shows no lingering antipathy post-primary, with both 95 percent of Republicans and Democrats saying they’d back their party’s nominee,” Taylor continues. “Notably, though, Kemp is winning independent voters by a 14-point margin.”

Correction: Kemp winning Independent voters by 14 pts.
GA Republicans are going to reap what they have sewn.
Guess who’ll claim victory anyway
Kemp is dirty. If he’s winning, America is losing.
Besides, all he’s doing is ushering in the Ghettopotamus. The Dems are going to ride him like a surf board.
Same aperatus which stole election from Trump will elect Kemp.
That was why they went alomg with the corrupt set up to control the system.
Will Trump supporters turn out? Or sit it out?
Do not like Kemp, I hate Ghettopotimus more.
That 14% among independents is huge. Kemp is not the best we could’ve done, but he’s way better than Abrams. He’ll get my vote.
And that same apparatus led by the rat SOS will give Ga to the rats in 24.
So will it be hold your nose and vote Kemp? Or is it a "plague upon both your houses" and sit it out?
I do not live in Georgia so I do not have to make that choice.
Harvesting is legal. We should be doing the same. 2 can play.
Ballot harvesting is NOT legal in Georgia.
Stolen Elections come at a very high cost and bring with them dire consequences.
In the long run may be too little too late, like with Virginia. Democrats patiently and quietly worked in the background to flip both Virginia and Georgia - for decades. The GOP needs to have the same decades long projects to hold their current states and flip other states in the future. Assuming a deep red state will stay that way is a bad gamble. Likewise, assuming a blue state has to always be blue is also not a good assumption. The Democrats have not operated under that assumption.
Pretty low bar.
At least if Kemp wins he will be a lame duck and we will not have to worry about him running again.
(Kemp winning Indie voters by 18 pts.)
Well, at least until they quit counting overnight because of an indoor water leak.
