Stacey Abrams: More Than 750K Georgians Requested Absentee Ballots for Senate Runoffs

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.

The President needs to go to GA and hold multiple MAGA rallies in the 3 weeks leading up to the election.

“Turnout will be enough to overcome what ever votes are needed for the dems to win. It’s not like there is any consequence for cheating. The only reason not to cheat are moral. abrams and the dems lack any moral compass at all. And who is going to stop them? The gop, don’t make me laugh.”

Yep. The Dems are going to steal this, they’re going to telegraph it, and laugh in the face of the nation as they grab complete power.

Why wouldn't they? It's not like we are going to do anything about it.

“Guess they don’t call Republicans the “stupid party” for nothing!”

Not necessarily stupid. Corrupt, self interested, yes, stupid? Not all of them.

Georgia GOP voters will not show up to vote, why would they?

“Why wouldn’t they? It’s not like we are going to do anything about it.”

On the contrary, the media and Dem voters will be pleased. The ends justify the means.

Is there a way we can block the votes from being sent overseas?

Is there a way that we closely monitor the tally to catch any vote flipping by software.

Is there a way we can have federal officers on hand in case Republicans are again locked out of the polls.

Is there a process to ensure they are legally registered and the ballots aren’t cured in advance?

Why is she advertising this number? Because when 750K votes show up, the response will be “Georgians want to vote by mail!” and “count all the ballots!”

And to answer your question - NO, there will not be any serious attempt to match ballots to legitimate voters, remove double voting, check signatures, post-marks, nor confirm chain-of-possession.

Stacy Abrams was very big on pushing ballot “drop boxes” for Fulton County. Totally unsecured. And low-and-behold, Fulton County hardly checked or disqualified any ballots. Also, in many towns in Fulton, Biden did better than Obama by 30%, while towns just across the border in Cobb showed a more national standard -5% or -10% Biden underperformance.

How does she know?

I had the same question, how the hell does she know? I'm sure there are people in the state gubmint who consider her the rightful governor and working with her to subvert this and the last election there.

Does it matter? No. Some Republicans still think they are going to win and get a fair shake. SUCKERS...
