We have lived for many years in Georgia, but it looks as if we need to escape now. The question is WHERE? We're in Florida right now looking at property.

It’s obvious that election reform to stop future cheating will not be happening. Next stop, Governor Stacey Abrams, coming up. Wonder what these worthless “Republicans” think is in store for them.

>>over baseless allegations of irregularities.

Did the chick who counted ballots late that night ever give any interviews or official statements to the government?

She lawyered up before she blabbed is all I know.

“false claims of widespread election fraud”

As obvious as a Texas sunrise.

If they are ever forced into admitting reality they will keel over and vomit.
