The election continued to show that turning out your base is how you win, imo. So not factoring that in to however you think about the GA senate runoffs is a mistake I think.
I do not understand this forum software.
youâll get used to it. itâs pretty good.

Iâm guessing that your immediate complaint is quoting⌠like maybe you were expecting my post to automatically be quoted in your reply to it.

If you want to include the whole post in your reply, after hitting the âreplyâ button then in the upper left-hand corner there is a quote bubble that you can click on and the whole post will show up.

An alternative way is to highlight the text you want to quote and then a âquoteâ option will appear. You can do this multiple times if you want to multi-quote. Itâs weird to get used to, but makes it easier to quote only a snippet of the post rather than quoting the whole thing and deleting what you donât want.
Definitely takes some getting used to, but the new software is growing on me.
ETA: You canât quote the post immediately preceding your own in full⌠the software doesnât seem to allow that. So you can quote a snippet, or just not quote it. If you try, the software will edit your post and remove the quote.
And if you want to quote, you canât put anything else on the line with the [quote] or [/quote]. That makes the software angry.
Itâs not so much a case of suppression as it is the Republicans are trying to create a few more hoops for people to jump through in the registration and voting process. Both Trump and the Georgia house speaker have been quoted as saying that getting more people voting would hurt Republicans. Democrats responded to this tactic by bringing on people to help voters jump through these hoops, using the term âvoter suppressionâ as a rallying cry to get people to vote. Certainly was effective.
In the past, a Trump endorsement in a race where heâs not also on the ballot has not been that helpful for the candidate. Itâs going to come down to which side doesnât care the most and stays home. Hard to say at this point.
Well, expecting those tactics to work (via studies and such) is tantamount to to suppression.
âHey, letâs close down polling places in these areas, but not those areas. People wonât go to vote in these areas as a result, which will help us win!â
Yeah, I call that suppressing the vote.
What is your definition of voter suppression exactly?
Wrongfully taking away someoneâs right to vote

Hell when SC changed the times that polls are open to be the same for everyone across the entire state it was deemed in violation of the voting rights act. No oneâs right to vote was taken away but this was a very clear case of voter suppression because the change adversely affected people in minority communities ability to get to the polls during the open hours.
I canât even
Voter suppression is a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting⌠The tactics of voter suppression range from minor changes to make voting less convenient, to physically intimidating and even physically attacking prospective voters, which is illegal.
Itâs not like people show up in âSuppress the Voteâ t-shirts and block the doorsâŚ

OK, so Loeffler is throwing the anti-Israel card down on Warnock.
Some of the Trump nutters like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are encouraging Republicans to boycott the GA runoff until a âfairâ election process is put in place. 
Iâve also seen some advocating for Trump loyalists to write-in his name for both races in protest.
Over the weekend Gingrich was retweeting Lin Wood silliness, then this week tweeting that this pair is completely destructive. The GOP really are eating their own over this Trump fake election stuff.

That may the first smart thing theyâve said in a month.
Hey, Newt: Every non-Magahat (âhâ is silent) Georgian who cares about all Americans MUST vote in the runoff.
Early voting went so smoothly in the general election that Iâm definitely doing it again. As long as you didnât go the first day of early voting the waits in my area were negligible.
Due to scheduling the mega voting center they did at State Farm Arena for the general will be split this time: first week at State Farm, second week at Mercedes Benz Stadium
A local political reporter decided to start tracking all of the tweets by all candidates in GA congressional and senate races. Itâs searchable. This is a nice public service.
I early voted today and there was zero line. Wife did yesterday and reported the same. Looks like wait times for early voting have been pretty minimal in most locations. Hereâs a live link of estimated wait times in my county, and as I write this only one spot has a wait time over 30 minutes. ArcGIS Dashboards
