On p. 11, it is noted that the recalled vote is +6 Harris when Trump won Georgia by 2.

Implication: Bottoms is NOT up. Jackson is actually ahead.

This is a Democrat liar poll. It's designed to suppress Republican turnout, Republican enthusiasm, and Republican donations.

Midterms are almost always challenging for the party in power. Compare where we are today to where we were in 2018 and to where the D's were in 2010 (see below links). We're not in as bad shape as compared to where the party in power was in those two prior elections. Don't let the other side run us off the field.

I really don’t think Terrorsycho is doing that well in the Senate race here in Texas either. All of the polls are liberal BS. The only ad I’ve seen so far from Terrorsycho is the douche bag coming out of a store with a half of a paper bag of crap he supposedly bought and climbing into a macho cowboy vegan pickup. The Alfred E. Newman look alike really sucks.

He is raking in the $$. His ads are running constantly outside Texas on Youtube and include direct links to donate to his campaign. If he isn’t spending money that means he is saving it to stuff his own pockets and fly off to gay island after the election. Or they’ll bank it for something sinister next election cycle. He is like Lyndon Johnson, Waltz, and Ru Paul all rolled into one (he just doesn’t dress up in public).

Don’t forget the Democrat 10-point margin-of-cheating.

I saw one ad where the lyin’ Socialist DemonRAT skunk said that he got every penny of his $350 million from his 495,000 individual supporters. None from the Socialist DemonRAT billionaires who are sending him pallets of Franklins. He’s a lying POS.

Without cheating, the Democrats can’t win in Georgia.

The poster child for rampant soy-boyism, James Talarico, is much like the salmon leaping rapids trying to get back to its point of origin, for whatever purposes. May he be scooped up by the waiting bear.

He appears to be driven by categorical imperatives that do not permit him any introspection or even a trifling amount of critical thinking. If Texas buys this, they shall have become less than worthy, and incredibly shallow.

Bottoms is hated by Braves fans for her NBA Telethon approval in 2021 while asking MLB to move the All-Star Game to Denver, all endorsed by Autopen. Fans booed her at the celebration. The number of tomahawks aimed at her will be prevalent and they don’t want you to know that.

“poll designed to suppress Republican turnout”

Dem strategy worked in the primary as Republicans, especially MAGA Republicans, did not vote.

A Republican/MAGA ground game is the only conceivable way for Republicans to win in Nov 2026. Jackson can spend hundreds of millions on TV, social media and it will not generate the turnout needed to win. Only a ground game can do that.

I suggest that a ground game mostly organized around candidates for State Rep is the way to build the ground game. Occasionally it might be organized around a St Sen, a County Official or a Statewide candidate in that candidate’s base area.

MAGA needs to be convinced to get away from the screen and go knock on the doors of friends, neighbors and total strangers.

“Without cheating, the Democrats can’t win in Georgia.”

The facts do not support that. In the 2021 US Senate races the Dems won because the MAGA voters in NE GA intentionally stayed home “to teach them a lesson”. Not sure who them is.

In Nov 2026 if Republicans/MAGA have a ground game that delivers a large turnout Republicans win. If Republicans stay home, they lose.

Jackson has run an excellent campaign here in Georgia, I think.

Former CIA Agent Just BLEW The Doors Off How American Elections Get Stolen — How The CIA Is In On It. This BLEW My Mind

How are elections stolen? How are democracies threatened?

Retired senior CIA official Gary Berntsen reveals the incredible story of how the Venezuelans hacked America’s elections. And the United States did nothing to stop it.

“I’d like to just jump in and say that I’m a retired CIA officer. I’m the guy that did the entry into Afghanistan 20 years ago, put Karzai in power, speak Persian. I was the chief of Hezbollah operations globally, chief of station in the Middle East, and chief of station a couple of times in Latin America. I’ve basically been in an ops environment for most of my life.

I wrote a book years ago called Jawbreaker about the invasion of Afghanistan with Ralph Pezzullo. Ralph is actually the writer of the book that you’re talking about — the stolen elections book. I couldn’t write it because the CIA wouldn’t have ever approved it with the publication review board. So Ralph Pezzullo wrote it. You can get it on Amazon. It’s about myself and about Martin Rodil, who is my business partner.

We began about seven years ago working together, doing what we call whistleblowing and targeting the Cartel del Sol (the cartel in Venezuela). People need to understand that the cartel that operated out of Venezuela — led by Nicolás Maduro when he was captured — is a cartel worth $2.7 trillion. That’s what they have stolen in oil money, drug sales, gold, and everything else. It’s the largest transnational criminal organization in the history of the world. They make the Italian mafia look like pikers.

We were doing operations against them, collecting on their finances, and we kept stumbling into this company, Smartmatic — their employees and their involvement with the cartel. People were telling us things about it. Then, of course, in 2020 when the election was stolen, many of our sources came to us. They had contacts inside the Consejo Nacional Electoral (the National Electoral Council in Venezuela) and inside Smartmatic, and they explained pretty quickly who the players were and how they were doing this.

For the next two years, Martina and I traveled the world finding engineers that worked for the companies, recruiting them, bringing them on board, and debriefing them. They essentially laid out this conspiracy, which we found shocking.”

But it gets worse. What did the U.S. government do about it?

“Look, I was a senior officer in the CIA. I was one of the top guys in counterterrorism. I was in charge of the East Africa bombings, the Khobar Towers bombings, the invasion — I did a lot of stuff. But I was shocked by the scale of this and even more shocked by the fact that the Intelligence Community in the United States wasn’t doing anything about it.

We went to them. We brought them information. We briefed them on the cartel early on. We actually briefed the Trump campaign about election theft before the 2024 election. We went to them in 2020. When the election was stolen, we went right to the campaign…”

This is the biggest espionage and cartel conspiracy in human history. Somebody should make a movie about this. It would beat any “Mission Impossible” or James Bond film. Absolutely chilling.

GA is much like IL when I was there. WA was like IL & GA when I was there. Personal face-to-face contact is always the best way to get votes. When and where has tha
t been different?

The personal contact can be door-to-door, at work, at social clubs, Kiwanis, Lions, Little League, at non-Sunday church events. (At my church political campaigning at church on Sunday was counter-productive.)

Second best is phone contact with someone who personally knows you. They know you from the personal contacts above.

Print Ads, TV Ads, Radio Ads, Social Media can educate those who “always vote” and can influence the independents/switch-hitters on how they vote. But they rarely increase the turnout for the side that buys the media ads.

Personal “endorsement” thru interview with a personality who has loyal friends (or loyal enemies) can swing a few of the independents who identify for or against that personality. Thus personal endorsement by a mayor or football coach can sway some.

The candidate appearance at ‘rallies’ is effective if the people at the rally are enlisted to go knock on doors. If the rally is an end in itself it is like group masturbation.

The local candidate for State Rep.. or dog catcher ... has personal friends that will knock door to door for that local candidate. That is the core of the ground troops who then push 2 or 3 of the 2 dozen candidates for his party.

There are many State Rep districts in high density urban areas that are 60-40 D to R. The R most likely cannot win. But it is necessary that the statewide candidate have a ground game working for the R who will never win in order to maximize the vote for the Statewide candidate.

A winning campaign is almost always a COMPLETE campaign that has both an air campaign and a ground campaign that support each other.

Money is the other factor in winning...not my area of expertise. Democrats have successfully had paid ground troops. Republicans less often have had paid ground troops. I have never seen paid ground troops be successful for Republicans...although I’m sure it must have been successful somewhere. The best ground troops are the successful Avon, Amway type sales persons. The worst are the uncompromising single issue ideologue.

Amway carries many products and services. The smart salesman sells what the customer wants to buy. The 2A customer may be pro-life but wants to hear 2A. The free enterprise customer may be 2A. But he wants to hear about capitalism, small government, DOGE. The smart ground troops sell what the customer wants to buy.

Possibly the silliest ad ever devised, but Texas are easily swayed these days, particularly in Austin, Dallas, Houston, El Paso, and San Antonio.
