Record Asian American turnout helped Biden win Georgia. Can it help flip the Senate?
The Washington Post ^ | 11/28/20 | Amy B. Wang

When Long Tran, a liberal organizer of Vietnamese descent, hosted a meet-and-greet for Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff in early 2017, he was hoping in part to engage more Asian Americans like himself in politics.

Not a single other Asian person showed up to his event.

Nearly four years later, that has dramatically changed. Georgia’s hand recount and vote certification confirmed that Asian American and Pacific Islander voters — who make up the fastest-growing demographic in Georgia — helped swing the state for the Democrats for the first time since 1992.

While AAPI voters comprise only about 4 percent of Georgia’s population, that amounts to roughly 238,000 eligible voters, more than enough to determine races in the narrowly divided state. Georgia saw a 91 percent increase in AAPI voter turnout over 2016, according to an analysis by the Democratic firm Target­Smart, and exit polls showed Asian American voters preferred Joe Biden to President Trump by 2 to 1.

“a liberal organizer of Vietnamese descent”

IOW he’s a Vietnamese Communist, raised by the Hanoi regime. Undoubtedly NOT someone who left in a hurry in 1975.

He VC.

Such laughable BS. Asians turned out for Trump. Any Asian votes for Biden were 95% fraud!

I went to a class at the federal building in Atlanta.

I was amazed at the number of Middle Eastern people lined up around the block to get in for citizenship.

Are Middle Eastern people considered to be “Asian American”?

The author should be saying the asian votes in Gwinnett County, where so many of them live. You know? Another place that Raffensberger secretly and without Constitutional authority signed a consent decree with Abrams and her ilk. And imagine that, Gwinnett goes Bluer than hell.

I made sure the American of Vietnamese background folks who run the nail salon my wife goes to knew about Biden’s statements about Vietnamese refugees. I don’t think they were voting Biden.

Maybe but they also vote like idiots and I wish they never got the chance to taste freedom like we have here.

These creatures from communist and barely developing countries come here and want to bring their chairman mao way of thinking with them while making believe they are ANYTHING like some other minorities and crying oppression like the whiny b.tches that they are.

They average 15 percent R voting....

And I HOPE they get ####ed by new quotas being instituted at the top colleges.

Then they can go cry with the other minorities they think they have so much in common with.

And those minorities will either laugh at them or beat the ever loving #### out of them.

And I will die laughing

Although Asian-Americans lean leftists (I have no idea why. The Democrat ideals don’t line up with most Asian-American values), I’m sure they meant that Georgia’s votes were tipped by Asian from Red China votes.

That’s funny. I was at a giant “Stop the Steal” rally in downtown Phoenix yesterday, and among the most visible folks were Americans of Asian descent handing out “The Epoch Times” and an “End CCP” flyer.

Asian's, under the Chinese privilege of being here, don't see what they're doing as wrong when they're up to no good. Rather they're “tasking’ for the China's Government....like it's their duty.

Saturday I was driving near Peachtree and Clairmont Rd, which is a decidedly Asian area. There was a 30-50 car parade of cars with anti CCP, anti Communism messages. Every last driver was Asian.

There my anecdotal evidence is just as scientific as this stupid article.

I guess these Asians don’t want their kids to get into good schools. That is what Democrats do - they discriminate against Asians.
