How can a State with a little over 10 million residents have nearly 8 million registered voters?

I understand the general public being clueless to the facts concerning
massive voter fraud in Georgia enabled by Kemp an his Secretary of State, but to read so many clueless comments by freerepublic participants is disturbing.
There is no free republic without free and fair elections. Walker won the election.
The non-elected rulers and their Georgia political puppets enabled by Kemp stole this election the same way they stole AZ.

Don't forget that McConnell's fund spent $9 million to support Murkowski against her main opponent, another more conservative Republican. McConnell does not want conservatives to dominate in the Senate. For him, better to let Schumer be in charge rather than have himself be deposed as Republican minority leader.

McConnell hates conservatives, the Tea Party and MAGA. That is well known and documented.

Funding Murkowski is not a surprise as she is loyal to McConnell. McConnell mostly supports incumbents.

But McConnell also sent funds to Trump endorsed candidates, like Dr Azz, Walker, etc.

So, while we can all agree that McConnell is a POS and needs to go, it does not change the fact that most of the candidates were Trump endorsed and lost.

Why did Kemp Ratzenberger, etc., win by comfortable margins while Walker lost narrowly? Texas and Florida, two states with relatively clean elections, saw the winning GOP candidates have similar victory margins. The Georgia GOP establishment did not want Walker any more than they wanted Trump. In yesterday's Senate runoff, the Atlanta area counties did their vote dump after the rest of the state had voted. Urban vote dumps in Georgia, voter suppression in Arizona, all with Democrat/RINO cooperation or collusion.

But they will continue to ignore mail in and early vote “whipping” became muh fraud. Two years from now we will be bitching about the same thing if we don’t suck it up and embrace the system as it is. Mail in and early voting isn’t going away.

You are assuming that Urban Democratic machines honestly tabulate the ballots. As far back as 1976, Jimmy Carter was able to carry New York even though early results had Gerald Ford in the lead. All of a sudden, a flood of votes came in from Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx that miraculously put Carter over the top. In that year New York decided the election. The three boroughs were under the control of machine politicians. Then we had the election in 2000 when Democratic politicians in South Florida tried to use the hanging chad issue unsuccessfully to give Florida and thereby the electo Al Gore. It is foolish to assume that Democrats are or were ever honest. Democrats and Communists do not have any moral bearing; to them the end justifies the means.

Kemp had planned to appoint Doug Collins to the Senate instead of Loeffler. McConnell and the corporate Republicans in Atlanta leaned very heavily on him to appoint Loeffler. Unlike a DeSantis he capitulated. That split the Republican Party in Georgia going into the 2020 election. Loeffler was a terrible candidate and totally turned off rural voters in Georgia. Many refused to vote and voila we had Biden and .senate runoffs.

Pretty familiar with Georgia politics and lived in most sections of the state and relatives all over. DeSantis could beat Biden. Trump cannot because even some in my family that were strong Trump supporters will not vote for him again. I would but they will just stay home. In 2024 we have no Senate elections, no governors race, Lt Governor, SOS, etc. only the motivated will get out and vote.
Trump will motivate some but will motivate the Democrats even harder.

I wish Collins would have run this time. I’ve long thought he’s the best we’ve got in Georgia of anyone there. Is he just too conservative to win?

Do you believe Joe Biden received 81 million legal votes?

You are 100% correct. To fix the fraud, we need to win elections....meaning we need to use their system against them.

Democrats in Georgia are definitely better organized. souls to the pols. Church vans used to take voters to the polls. Nursing home workers that help “residents” vote. People who know community of older voters that go door to door to ensure they request absentee ballots and sit down and talk with the person.

All of that is not cheating but it is very effective not only in having people vote for Democrats but also establishing long term relations. We used to do that by families getting together and also visiting relatives. Most on our side do not keep those relations any longer.

Democrat pastors once had walking around money in Georgia to encourage voting. They do not do that any longer. Instead large donations are made to black churches that turn out their members and if the precinct votes the right way.

Our country had over 60% turnout and voted for Walker 2-1 but we were definitely outworked on the ground. More yard signs (important in rural and exurbs in Georgia ran strongly for Warnock. Ads targeted and soft Republicans and elderly whites were 3-1 Warnock and were effective.

Frustrated with Republican leadership at State and National levels and angry about the purists in the Party on both sides that will not vote for someone not completely in align with their beliefs.
