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.

Recent immigrants from Asia and India have one objective in mind. Family reunification. They want to bring mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, the kids, the whole damn family over here. They will vote for whatever party that will facilitate immigration

People who fled communists hellholes (Cuba, Vietnam, China, etc) were pro-business conservative anti-communists.

What happens is that their kids or grandkids are sent to college where they are BRAINWASHED and turned into the STINKING COMMIES that their parents and grandparents fled.

If Americans want to end the cancer of communism, destroy the leftist colleges and universities!

I guess they are calling all the phoney ballots created by China as Asians voting.

Good grief. You misunderstood my comment. Whatever turnout NYP claims is inflated nonsense. The total Asian vote likely was half fraudulent, or 95% of the total hand counted and in-person voting.

“If Americans want to end the cancer of communism, destroy the leftist colleges and universities!”

Exactly, however too many conservatives want their children in those leftist institutions. Having a college degree is a status symbol, that also makes a person higher income over a lifetime.

Most freepers wouldn’t give a non college educated candidate for office, the time of day. Even if they agreed with them politically on 100% of the issues. The problem with AOC isn’t her bartending background, it’s her left-wing political ideology.

I’m not for destroying colleges in America, just for changing the curriculum. Abolishing Women and African American studies would be a good start. These two groups are not only the beneficiaries of the atrocious 1964 civil rights act, but also “permanent cry babies” in our current electorate.

They actually helped elect two Asian American Republican women to Congress here in Southern California.

‘Slow leak’: Text messages cast doubt on Georgia officials’ ‘burst pipe’ excuse for pause in counting
An “unprecedented” decision on election night caused outrage – and now texts have blown apart the official story, raising more questions.

That doesn’t change the fact that Asians (especially Chinese, East Indian, and Japanese Americans) continue to vote heavily for Dems as they have for nearly three decades. Anecdotes from rallies and voter fraud don’t hide this truth.

Not anecdotes... but sentiment. A lot has changed in the past 4 years. The left has become more vile, vocal, audacious and violent. Because they are dying, shrinking, losing power and influence. They are on life support and gasping for air because the man behind the curtain has been exposed. George Soros and his EU NWO cabal of oligarch autocrats. The devil runs deep and must be exorcised.

That is why they pulled all the stops on this election and committed massive voter fraud and the attempted steal.

They didn’t care about being caught, they care only to keep what they have been accustomed to always have... control of their agenda.

They are in with all their chips. May good over evil win.
