Andrew Yang encourages Dems to exploit Georgia’s weak residency rules to swing the Senate runoff to Jon Ossoff
Twitchy ^ | November 10, 2020 | Brett T.

Posted on 11/10/2020 4:53:28 PM PST by McGruff

As Twitchy reported last week, Vox’s Ian Millhiser was doing the math on how much it would cost a billionaire like Michael Bloomberg to literally pay Democrats to move to sparsely populated red states in order to flip the Senate blue. Millhiser’s ingenious plan was to pay 80,000 Democrats $50,000 each to live in Wyoming long enough to vote in a Senate election. Maybe not so remarkably, a ton of gender studies majors working as baristas in New York City were anxious to sign up; some even thought they’d be doing the people of Wyoming a favor by importing culture to their dreary lives. Community theater, y’all!

This story is a few days old, but it’s new to us thanks to Allie Beth Stuckey, who tweeted about it Tuesday. Since Georgia’s rules are messed up and because neither incumbent David Perdue nor challenger Jon Ossoff won more than 50 percent of the vote, the state’s Senate race is headed to a runoff in January — and if they could just get enough Democrats to establish residency there long enough to vote …

"Democrats are advocating for “blue voters” to become Georgia residents for the upcoming runoff elections. Georgia doesn’t have a minimum residency requirement, which poses a legal loophole for both parties." @BrianKempGA ?! https://t.co/lDKeyVa7uq

...

Additionally, the state’s voter I.D. laws allow individuals to use an out-of-state driver’s license to vote.

THIS IS ALL WE NEED. IM TALKING TO YOU GA LEGISLATURE. Use Yang’s announcement as a reason to remove mail in ballots. It has to go.

My understanding is that under GA law, you must have been registered at the time of the original race to be allowed to vote in the run-off.

Honestly at this point, the GA Legislature has no choice but to remove the mail in ballot option for the runoff.

This is where Republicans fail.

Georgia has a Republican governor and Republicans control the state legislature. Why didn't they make laws to strengthen voter integrity?

Soon there will be more Covid cases. They will use that excuse to have mail in ballots.

Hope they don’t forget to file Georgia income taxes after claiming residency.

Intending to commit election fraud by buying votes is illegal, is it not?

Good Gawd, Republicans! Take note. This is how you play hardball!

It's not that people don't support you (plenty do,) it's that the Dems are unscrupulous and will do anything to kick your a$$.

Don't quote me on this, but from what I read, that rule applies to local and state elections, and the Federal elections are not named/specified; meaning that it is "legal" for them to do same day registrations (and vote )in the Federal election.

If the rats were willing to pay 109 million to try to beat Graham, imagine how much they would pay to gain these seats in the Senate and torpedo the entire American way of life. There is no limit to what they would pay to finance thousands of “relocations” to Georgia.

I guess not anymore. They use to try and hide these type of things.
