Here we go again — What to expect as Georgia counts votes…

This billboard in Georgia was funded by Democrats

I’m angry and ornery after covering the steal for 60 straight days.

And if I lived in Georgia, I would still be voting tomorrow.

Don’t let Stacey Abrams have the satisfaction.

ATLANTA (AP) — This week will find us back in a familiar place — waiting for Georgia to count votes. With control of the U.S. Senate at stake, all eyes are on a runoff election that has Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler facing Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Hundreds of millions of dollars have poured in, Georgians have been bombarded by advertisements and messages urging them to vote, and both sides have sent their heavy hitters to help turn out voters.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Perdue got about 88,000 more votes than Ossoff in the general election, but a Libertarian candidate’s 115,000 votes kept him from topping 50%, which is required to win. Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Loeffler to the Senate in December 2019 after Sen. Johnny Isakson stepped down. She and Warnock were competing in a 20-candidate special election to serve the two years remaining in Isakson’s term. Warnock got 1.6 million votes, while Loeffler got nearly 1.3 million and Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins placed third with nearly a million votes.

WHEN DOES THE BALLOT COUNTING START?

The polls are set to close at 7 p.m. EST on Election Day, and that’s when ballot counting can begin. Absentee ballots must be received by the close of polls to be counted. Military and overseas ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Friday will be counted, and absentee voters also have until Friday to fix any problems so their votes can be counted.

No ballots, including absentee ballots received in advance of Election Day, can be counted until the polls close. But a state election board rule requires county election officials to begin processing absentee ballots — verifying signatures on the outer envelope, opening the envelopes and scanning the ballots — before Election Day. That should speed things up on election night. Still, some absentee ballots received by mail or in drop boxes up until 7 p.m. on Election Day will still need to be processed.

In a close contest, look for the Republican candidate to jump out to an early lead. That due to two factors: First, Republican areas of the state usually report their results first. Second, Republican voters have been more likely to vote in person, either on Election Day or during the early voting period. Many counties release those in-person results first.

Meanwhile, heavily Democratic counties, including Fulton, DeKalb and Chatham counties, historically take longer to count votes. In November, Perdue held a lead of about 380,000 votes over Ossoff at 10 p.m. EST on election night. But Perdue’s lead eventually fell below 90,000.

In a very tight race, it could take several days to determine a winner. In November, more than 5 percent of Georgia’s votes were counted after noon on the day after Election Day.

At that time, Donald Trump led Biden by 100,000 votes.

Same here. Vote for President Trump's sake, if you can't stand Loeffler and Perdue! Vote against that commie pig Stacey Abrams. I couldn't imagine not voting in this election if I lived in GA.

“Perdue got about 88,000 more votes than Ossoff in the general election...”

~~~

It’s going to be very interesting to see how a number like that could possible swing. If the vote totals exceed those of the general election (which I imagine almost never happens, except for how huge this thing has turned into) but we don’t see a change in the voting ration commensurate with a shift, then than means voters where added; AKA fraud

ratio* /correction

In other words, what I am trying to say is that if you just see a higher vote count than the GA and Perdue loses but it’s not a percentage shift but rather Perdue staying the same but Ossoff gets a lot more, then it’s ballot stuffing

As bad as these two RINOs are, it will be a lot worse if they both lose. The Dims will control all 3 Branches anothing, short of armed revolution, will be able to stop their coming socialist dystopia.

A senate at 51-49 means that mittens and collins and murkowski rule.

Kelly and David get 4 votes from my household tomorrow. Actually, just 3 tomorrow; they already got 1. My prediction is that the Dems/Deep State cheat to get one win, so a split (Sorry, David Perdue). Then they will have some theoretical plausible deniability about November, and the message will be that if the GOP cucks just a little bit harder, they can win again.

Knowing the media will cover up fraud, Georgia won’t even try to hide vote canceling and fraudulent votes. They have no fear of being accountable.

Here’s my prediction: Both Perdue and Loeffler will have seemingly insurmountable leads as the votes are counted on election night. Then around 10:30 or so, a toilet will overflow and it will be announced that for safety sake the vote count will be suspended until the next day. Republican observers will be sent home. Some election workers, being dedicated civil servants will continue to count votes despite the risks involved with overflowing toilets.

During the night, the returns from Fulton County will show Ossoff and Warnock have surprisingly taken leads in both races. As the counting continues, their leads only increase. They will be declared the winner.

Any charges of irregularity will be condemned by right-thinking people as ‘racist’ and ‘anti-democratic’. Any lawsuits will be dismissed as either not having standing, not paying the proper fees, improper paperwork, and/or untimely.

With all of the videos demonstrating illegal activities at the vote counting sites, our Congressional leaders still maintain there is no proof of anything illegal happening. Cotton, Boozman and Westerman are still asleep at the wheel.

Correct.

“ In a close contest, look for the Republican candidate to jump out to an early lead. That due to two factors: First, Republican areas of the state usually report their results first. Second, Republican voters have been more likely to vote in person, ”

Not to mention the dims need to know how many fraudulent votes they need to manufacture.

All for nought. GA Runoff election was compromised when Jovan Pulitzer had his team connect to an active polling machine used in the GA Senate Runoff elections. That voids the Fed Certification of the machines. It affects Pelosi, McConnell, and Kemp along with the other Governors, Senators, and Representatives elected by the 6 battleground and 31 other states that use the Dominion malware.

Governors, Senators, and Reps who were elected in the past 6 years using Dominion, etc., machines and SmartMatic malware produce UNLAWFUL elections due to connecting to the iNet.
