After all the vote totals were analyzed, it’s no shock why Democrats swept the GOP in the Georgia runoffs. Comparing Election Day 2020 to the January 5, 2021 runoffs, there was a massive dip in Republican voter turnout. Some 500,000 Georgia voters decided to stay home with Republican districts seeing the bigger declines in turnout. Jon Ossoff beat Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue by 55, 354 votes. Raphael Warnock booted Kelly Loeffler by 93,659 votes.
Due to the lack of GOP turnout, Georgia has two Democratic senators. Sorry, twohorribleDemocratic senators. One wholly owned by China, allegedly, and another with a whole host of issues. Our own Reagan McCarthy ventured down to the Peach State multiple times to cover the situation on the ground. The election in its closing days hit numerous roadblocks. For starters, Perdue couldn’t do final get-out-the-vote events due to one of his staffers testing positive for COVID a week from Election Day. He had to quarantine. Second, Mitch McConnell decided to gum up the works for $2,000 COVID relief checks, which had majority support. After months of grueling economic pain due to the lockdown regime, Congress decided to derail a relief bill because the checks…were too big. At the same time, President Trump shoulders some of the blame for going after Georgia Republicans more than the Democrats. The lingering allegations of voter fraud, some legitimate some not so much, cast further doubts on Republican voters who did not trust the system. The 2020 presidential race was stolen, so why should they participate in the Senate runoffs was the mindset here.

Pack for your trip to the Island of Moronica. 🌴
Trouble is they have been acting like conservatives for years.
Honestly when you had many saying stay home.
They were crappy candidates.
So you think it was a fair election then? I think I may see what the real problem was.
It’s been here for some time.
How do you think ObaMao got elected?
Scrappy candidates should still have been able to win over the two anti Americans that won. 😯
(S)elected.
Spot on.
Time for all you guys to Par-tay!
Also, I expect China to invade Taiwan on idiot Biden's watch, and this would not have happened with Trump in command. There is not a d@mn thing two senators could do about China invading Taiwan, but stopping the vote fraud would have prevented it.
I guess you haven't seen the two videos of an Atlanta election worker running the same stack of ballots through the counting machine over and over again, or the just released video of Fulton county election workers discussing how they were going to cheat?
You think they did their jobs?
You guys really hit a homerun with this one!
Take that attitude and shove it. Of course it wasn't a fair election, any more than the November election was fair. But NOT SHOWING UP IS GIVING UP, ARE YOU A QUITTER?
There would probably never be a BETTER time to start a THIRD PARTY headed up by Trump than RIGHT NOW!
Or, perhaps better questions are: How many Republicans did not vote because they were betrayed by the GOP from the ground up? Betrayed by a Republican state legislature that refused to investigate and change the processes of voter fraud in the state, and Republican federal legislators who abandoned the President and his supporters and told us to stand down.
And then Mitch McConnell went begging to keep his leadership position as he French kissed the one who stole the White House and overrode two Presidential vetoes turning the President into an adversary. (Can you guess the side the voters chose?)
And what did these overrides deliver to the American people? Well, they saved Section 230, make it possible to rename our military forts in honor BLM heroes, and proved that to Republicans legal American citizens are not worth more than $600 while illegals are --- along with citizens of OTHER nations around the globe.
Then Mitch McConnell gloated over his victories against the President of the United States, the leader of his own political party who was engaged in a fight for every legal -- and only legal-- vote to count --- in other words, OUR voices.
The Republican Party spent the last quarter of 2020 openly assaulting its membership. ... and now the assault continues as it refuses to accept that the outcome in Georgia is the self-fulfilled prophecy of the Republican Party, itself.
So, DO NOT grab onto media-pushed boogeymen as the reason Republicans did not show up in the droves McConnell needed. The GOP, itself, broke the contract with its membership and gave them no reason, no reason at all to vote.
It’s hard to support canditates that don’t support you!
Mega dittos!
Yep, I recorded the same prediction.
Agree. If Republicans are smart (??) they will backbench McConnell and Cheney and Jim Jordan will take control of McCarthy.
We've got to tidy up this caucus now --- if 2022 will mean anything.
