At what point will more people have voted ahead of the Jan 5th election day than the state’s total population?

I think you had to be registered for the general election. New registrants should not be able to vote.

You’re correct, but that’s not what Georgia is doing. They allowed new registrations through 12/7/2020.

So.... if the initial vote was fraudulent to begin with, why bother with a runoff. Bread and circuses?

Has Johnny Mercer voted yet? There’s a great cemetery in Savannah —registers are combing the Garden of Good and Evil.

I must be mis-reading this:

"(10) The run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be a continuation of the primary, special primary, election, or special election for the particular office concerned.  Only the electors who were duly registered to vote and not subsequently deemed disqualified to vote in the primary, special primary, election, or special election for candidates for that particular office shall be entitled to vote therein, and only those votes cast for the persons designated as candidates in such run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be counted in the tabulation and canvass of the votes cast.  No elector shall vote in a run-off primary or special primary runoff in violation of Code Section 21-2-224 ."

from Georgia Code Title 21. Elections § 21-2-501

I may be looking at the wrong thing -- this is just what stood out to me.

Georgia has two types of runoffs, one for strictly party primaries and one for general elections. In the former, a person who voted in the Democrat primary for example, cannot come vote in the Republican runoff or visa versa. Normally these runoffs are close enough to the original election so as not to have time for additional registrations. For a general election runoff, any registered voter can vote and in this case, the runoff election is far enough out to have allowed for additional voter registrations. We did have a state legislative race runoff December 1 that did not allow for additional registrations. Why the Senate runoffs were not that same day is a mystery to me.

Not true...If you’re registered, you can vote. And they accepted new registrations until Dec 7th.
