Warnock and Ossoff won historic Senate seats because of rapidly shifting demographics in key Georgia counties and clear promises of $2,000 stimulus checks

Fulton County, anchored by Atlanta, as well as surrounding Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, and Forsyth counties, provided the nexus of Democratic strength in the runoffs.

In Fulton County, Democrats romped during this election cycle — Biden beat Trump countywide 73% to 26%, banking a nearly 243,000-vote margin on his way to winning the state by about 12,000 votes.

DeKalb and Clayton, with their large middle-class Black populations, have become growing Democratic bulwarks in statewide elections and gave both Ossoff and Warnock well over 80% of the vote in the runoffs.

However, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Henry counties, longtime Republican strongholds, and Forsyth County, which is still conservative, have undergone some of the most dramatic electoral changes in the entire state.

A promise of $2000 - which is now $1400, and will probably end up a grand - AFTER the election LOL!

In early America the politicians bought votes with beer, and had to pay BEFORE the election.
How far the electorate has devolved...

The votes are there in rural to offset this but Trumps voters didn’t show up but I just happened to notice Biden’s last pitch to the voters there was 2000 dollar checks

Yes, there was cheating, but you can’t deny the effects of immigration, more blacks moving to Georgia, and the Asian vote. Demographics is destiny.

The middle class black folks who say thier incomes increase under Trump, voted against him because he wasn’t black.
Makes perfect sense.

Biden is giving them the additional 1400 to get them to the 2000.

Yes, there was cheating, but Georgia is changing demographically. Well, the whole country is changing demographically. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other minorities vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats. The white population is shrinking.

Yes. They are accusing conservatives not voting due to a $2000 bribe? Their evil is great.

Isn’t that the truth? It’s the same in churches. People try to screw up the church they are in rather than going to one they agree with. It’s sabotage.

They “won” because of rigged Dominion voting machines. Georgia is not a Blue State.

The $1400 comes in a different Tax Year for most people.
