Senator Raphael Warnock, whose victory in a 2021 runoff helped Democrats gain control of the Senate and made him the first Black senator from Georgia, is again facing a runoff election. This time, he is vying against Herschel Walker, a former football star and Trump-backed Republican.

Didn’t the Dems cross over during the primary? This seems to happen to pick the most likely to be defeated in the general.
I was reading something a while ago, and it was very insightful about the black vote... and it was by a black political scientist...
I am paraphrasing here, but in a nutshell he said modern black voters aren’t particularly thoughtful in their voting, they don’t vote for the most competent or even the most clever (even if corrupt) candidates. Merit nor Intelligence of a candidate will drive their decision making when it comes to voting.
Its how you wind up with people like Sheila Jackson Lee or Marriam Berry, and how someone like Gillium nearly became the Florida Governor.
An LGBTQ poofter?
Do you think the GA Governor’s race, where Kemp got 2.1 million votes and beat Abrams, was also fraudulent?
In PA the more than 2/3 of primary voters did not Vote for OZ... that should have told anyone with a brain who bad he was, especially considering the fact he spent more money on his primary campaign than was spent combined in the last General Senate election in PA.
Oz never had a prayer, without question the most off brand crap candidate to ever run for statewide office as a Republican in my lifetime.
Oz’s defeat was assured the second he became the nominee, and without Hannity and the Uniparty/Establishment doing a last minute full court press to destroy Barnette, OZ would NOT have been the nominee.
When folks like myself pointed that out that OZ had ZERO shot at winning PA, we were lambasted, attacked, called every name in the book. It was clear from the start OZ was a dead man walking, but folks didn’t want to hear the truth, they wanted to be manipulated and lied to about how “electable” the great and powerful OZ was, when it was brutally clear that OZ would need a miracle to end the day within 5 points of Fetterman.
In the end OZ got his Miracle, Fetterman had a stroke and could not campaign properly... and got another Miracle in the fact that the UNIPARTY/ESTABLISHMENT pumped $100,000,000+ dollars into the race to try to put lipstick on that pig... and those two miracles let him get within 5.. without Fetterman’s health issues, Oz would have lost by 6-8 points easily.
I have no doubt in my mind, if Barnette had been the candidate and had the support behind her financially and from the party she would have one that race, not a doubt in my mind.
Oz was handed every single benefit a Republican could have gotten, and was just a $#!t$#0w from top to bottom.
Trump made a horrible endorsement in the PA race, but it wasn’t simply his endorsement that gave us OZ... it was the entire, and I do mean the entire Establishment machine going absolutely insane to destroy Barnette in the last few days that cost PA.
OZ being the nominee absolutely cost PA, not a doubt in my mind. Even McCormick would have likely won, given how that race played out. Without the stroke, the only candidate that would have remotely had a shot was Barnette... with it the only one who could have lost it was OZ.
Agreed, screaming fraud this time, rings hollow.
There is always some, but Kemp and other Republicans won statewide without issue....
this isn’t Arizona.. where it was full on theft.
At some point Trump is going to have to start posting some wins.
It seems the man who once said, “We’d get tired of winning!” has himself gotten tired of winning around 2018 and has been on a losing streak ever since.
Last night posts yet another ‘L’ to the board.
Everyone knows it was stolen.
And we do nothing.
Elections no longer matter, that is certain. We are caught in a mire that seemingly has no end.
The courts are as corrupt as the legislatures, and there are not enough honest persons in either venue to strike at the core of the problem, which is a general lawlessness and intellectual laziness on the part of the individuals in charge of the elections.
Perhaps we place far too much reliance on the competency and integrity of those officials who should and must answer for the lapses, which are coming all the time and from every direction. Yet the tide rises, and none are willing to launch any countermeasures.
Lead and brass become precious metals. Lamp posts and trees are everywhere, and rope is reusable.
REPUBLICANS: “WE LOST SO WE COULD BLAME TRUMP”
I don’ think they need the House to pack the Supreme Court. That is a Senate function.
Brian Kemp and seven other Republicans won state-wide elections in GA. Maybe GA voters just weren’t into voting for a guy who sounds like he is retarded.
it is extremely unhelpful to deny the reality of mass voter fraud and mass mail in ballot fraud in the last several elections. They’re in our face like a big bully screaming what are you going to do about it?
3 options. GOP can commit mass voter fraud on the same scale as Dems. GOP can somehow manage to reform election laws (extremely unlikely unless they manage to get a favorable SCOTUS ruling), or we can form a circular firing squad and blame fellow GOP candidates and commit virtual suicide. Guess which option the GOP has chosen.
To deny the reality of these fraudulent elections is to take part in the overthrow of our Government imo.
Florida as well. Many seniors love mail ins. I think they’d be upset if we did away with it.
The Democrats won because the Trumpers and the anti-Trumpers hate each other more than they hate Democrats.
Democrats now have three Fettermen’s some win huh Moe.
