All eyes are on Georgia as voters in the Peach State will determine the majority in the U.S. Senate on January 5. Republicans have 50 seats in the Senate, while Democrats have 48 (technically 46 with two Independents who caucus with them) and likely incoming Vice President Kamala Harris to get them to 51, should Democrats win both Georgia races. Turnout is usually low in runoff elections, but mail-in voting may change the game.
Stacey Abrams, who has blamed “voter suppression” for her loss in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race and has launched a campaign against “voter suppression,” announced a surge in absentee ballot applications that will likely give Democrats an edge.
“BREAKING: More than 750,000 Georgians have requested their ballots for the January 5 runoff elections,” Abrams announced on Twitter Monday. She encouraged Georgians to “request yours today and let’s get it done … again.”
Abrams included a link to the website to register for an absentee ballot along with a gif of her saying, “I’ve got a secret for you… we’re going to win.”

According to the latest count, Democrat Joe Biden won 2,474,507 votes to President Donald Trump’s 2,461,837 votes in Georgia, but turnout in runoff elections is usually far below turnout in a presidential election.
Lower turnout historically favors Republicans, but the surge in mail-in voting may combat the lower turnout to some extent.

You can request one either through your county elections by filling out a paper form and sending it in or through the state website. obviously the state store checks your name your birthdate and your drivers license at least it did for me.
What I’m concerned about is you don’t seem to be prevented from registering by December 7 and voting in the runoff election. I thought in Georgia you had to have been eligible to vote in the election that led to the runoff but that appears not to be the case when I look at my county website or the state website
I do wonder how they got so many people to request so quickly considering it’s only been a few days that you’ve been able to request unless these are solicited requests and not ones done directly by the state perhaps her organization has just sent out forms or sign people up and are going to mass dump ballot request to the state

The left made a movie about voter fraud and GW Bush called “Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections” claiming Bush stole it from Kerry....
At minute 51:19, they discuss the Republican congressman Feeney in Florida hiring Clint Curtis to write 24 lines of code to switch votes from Democrat to Republican in touch screen voting machines. It is an amazing 8 minutes of video in light of what is going on now. BTW Feeney was a running mate candidate of Jeb Bush.
Stacey Abrams: “More dan 700 fitty thousan Georgians gonna git absentee ballots whether dey axed for dem or not!”
That is exactly what I think this is. I think this is third party bullsh*t. There is no way that many actual voters did this. Most voters are simply not that into elections and will not put out great effort to participate through mail in.
