Georgia sets new voting record for runoffs
The Hill ^ | 12/18/20 09:42 AM EST | BY MAX GREENWOOD

More people cast ballots on the first day of early voting in Georgia’s Senate runoffs this week than those that did so when early voting opened ahead of the 2020 general election.

Roughly 168,000 Georgians went to the polls on Monday, the first day to vote early in-person in the state’s two critical Senate runoff elections, according to numbers provided by the Georgia secretary of state’s office. By comparison, some 128,000 voted on the first day of early voting for the November general election.

Another 314,000 people cast absentee ballots on the first day of the early-voting period.

The first-day early in-person turnout broke a record previously set in October when early in-person voting began for the 2020 general election.

Since then, the numbers have only continued to rise. As of Friday morning, more than 1.1 million people had voted in the Jan. 5 Georgia runoff elections, according to numbers collated by Georgia Votes, a website that tracks early voting data.

That lags only slightly behind the roughly 1.2 million that had voted at this point in the 2020 general election.

Still, the turnout is stunningly high, given the timing of the two runoffs, in which Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) are facing Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively.

Already, some 24,000 people who did not vote in the November general election have cast ballots in the runoff, according to The U.S. Elections Project, another website that tracks early voting.

At stake in the Jan. 5 runoff elections is party control of the Senate. Republicans currently hold a 50-48 seat edge in the upper chamber and a pair of Democratic wins in the Georgia runoffs would effectively hand Democrats an evenly divided chamber, in which Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would cast the tie-breaking vote.

No cheating there. Has there ever been this many people vote in GA for this office. Probly be more votes than for president and the republicans will just barely lose this time.

Indeed, losing Georgia will make it nearly impossible for a Republican to ever overcome the increasingly narrow path to win the White House—or any Senate majority.

This mail is total fraud/ BS. Unless a registered voter requests and mails in a request form that his/her signature matches, then receives a ballot from the county election office.
In TN only those with a valid reason(s) that prevents him/her from standing in line to vote received a mail in ballot.

Those state official/s that provided their entire voting list to the DNC should be jailed.

Trucking in ballots from New York? 150 year old man from Michigan voting?

It’s like the baseball all-star game. Just stuff the ballot box in each home stadium.

The fix is in and we are going to have it happen to us again. Losing the Senate would be devastating and truly the end.

it appears the rumor is Ruby was arrested and is a federal witness. I pretty much think this one can be debunked without even trying.

No worries, there will be more ballots voted in than ballot envelopes turned in. It is possible with:

(1) Machine Printed ballots delivered bua truck between 3 AM & 4 AM
(2) Ballots with democrat votes run through counting machines multiple times.
(3) Dominion machines adjusting votes
(4) Discarding republican ballots
(5) Pulling bags from under the tables filled with machine filled ballots when republican observers are thrown out of the building due to leaky toilets

When envelopes with voter ID & signatures are separated from the ballots inside, or when fake ballots are run through counting machines, republicans can ask for recounts until blue in the face, but count will not change.

Welcome to Banana States of America.

The 2nd amendment has proved to be useless, with 10 Billion bullets gathering dust while the all democrat tyranny takes over the government and our lives.

The steal is so brazen and obvious, and the entire swamp is just fine with it shows that it is we the elected politicians and we the people in black robes are the real power in America, not we the people.

These folks are at war with us and many of us do not even know it. They are using fraudulent ballots instead of bullets

That’s never been the rule in Georgia. Anyone registered can vote in a runoff generated by a failure of a candidate to reach 50%.

Fatso claims she has 7.7 million registered to Vote Ahead of Runoffs.

That's about 73% of the state population. Must have some children and babies in there.

I just heard on Bannon War Room 2 days ago it is still the law there, so what’s your supposed source that it’s not?

Title is wrong. Abrams has set a new record for ballots harvested, not votes, not yet.

The real question is, how many more votes were there than legitimate voters? I’d put the over/under at about 60,000.
