With These Figures, It's No Shock Why Republicans Got Swept by Democrats in Georgia

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.

Guess I won’t be holding my breath for the next fair and honest elections.

**************

The Dems own the system and the feckless Republicans are too weak and unprincipled to stand up to them, defend our democracy, and support the Constitution. When the “loyal opposition” opposes nothing you have a de facto one party system.

Nothing will change until we have a real party, instead of a fake one, representing us.

I imagine there are probably a lot of "conservatives" here celebrating because their campaign to have people abandon the GOP was adopted in part by Georgians. Woohoo! Two more Democrat Senators, and no more Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader! Isn't that just wonderful?!?!

Circular firing squad is up and running perfectly!

When counties in and around Atlanta have such a large number of voters, their votes will cancel out votes of small town rural citizens.

The GOP has a real problem on its hands when its own voters don’t want to vote for it anymore.

I don’t care about the GOP because it doesn’t care about us.

After watching their votes stolen in the prior election, I am not surprised that turnout was down.
Particularly after all of the GOP officials in GA were exposed as having been behind the vote stealing.

I did not hear of any high profile Republican, Mitch or anyone else other than Trump publicly applying pressure on Brian Kemp to do a vote audit. Did I miss it ? A signature audit would have given Trump Georgia but not one Republican cared.

Wake the hell up, “Freepers”! Why does anyone here on this blog continue to believe the bullschitt stories spewed by any media outlet, whether from the criminal Marxocrat left or the loser Republican GOPee right? Very simply, there is no way to validate any claim anymore about any election anywhere in this country. Who the hell knows what the true vote count was in Georgia or anywhere else?

“I’m sure a lot of people were demoralized because of massive voter fraud in presidential election and same voting infrastructure in place. Why should they vote if someone is going to stuff ballot boxes? I’m not saying I agree with that, but I’ll bet that what happened.”

GMTA - exactly my first thought...totally demoralized and the runoff was the exact Einstein definition of insanity: continuing to do the same thing while expecting different results. SSDD, if you will...Linn Wood may have had some effect but I think most looked at the situation and drew their own conclusion concerning their feckless GOP state “leadership” in the Governor’s office and the Secretary of State.

Just keep blaming everyone but yourself. Let us know how that works for you.

It’s funny watching people look for scapegoats, Lin Wood for example.

Overseeing the election fraud in GA were the governor, lt. governor, secretary of state, attorney general, all republicans.

Overseeing the fraud nationally was the AG and FBI director, republicans. The republicans in the house and senate got steamrolled, again.

Kelly Loeffler is the face of the GOP.

You didn’t miss it. The GA legislators sat on their hands too.

How many Republicans did not vote because they followed “Q”-tards, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell’s directives? Oh, but we are repeatedly told that “Q” is a harmless “patriot” movement. The mounting evidence shows the exact opposite to be true.

You really think 500,000 Georgians listened to Lin Wood instead of President Trump you are crazy.

Perdue & Loeffler didn’t stand up for their own constituents who thought the Nov. 3 election was stolen, which their own senate wins were probably stolen on Nov 3

These races should not be within the MoF. I thought Georgia was a red state? Oh right, we need to forget that packing the country full of third worlders and surrendering all of the pillars of society to the left has any impact on which states are competitive. We need to forget about that and point fingers for this or that on Election Day for a few years until Georgia is the next Virginia. Rinse and repeat with the next formerly red state.

I remember thinking aloud on another FR thread a while back if Wood and Powell were double agents.

Kinda hate to say this but he was 100% correct. The evidence is obvious that the same system produced exactly the same results. Notice the counting stoppage? Video evidence ( I had links to them but they are no longer available) showed at least three instances of votes being moved from the Republican to the dim. I can almost guarantee that Rudy is correct that they have more than enough hard evidence to overturn the election of the 5th.
