One of the GOP candidates for MI governor came in 4th out of 5 candidates, and is demanding a hand recount, because blah, 2020 election was fixed, blah, blah.
Assholes like this clown will cause us to have another 4 years of dumbocrats effing the state up.
The dumbocrat AG is going after some of those that stole voting machines after the election to prove they were crooked, she also refuses to enforce thy e states antiabortion law from 80 years ago
I'm sure there's a lot of science and psychology involved in so-called voter turnout, but anyone who even remotely considers themselves a republican, much less a conservative, who didn't get off the couch to vote in an effort to keep the likes of Warnock and Ossof out of Washington... well... uh... has no one to blame but themselves.
'My vote doesn't count' has been a cop-out since forever.
I do not know of any conservatives in Georgia who did not vote because of anything Trump said.
If anything, everyone was passionate about voting because the stakes were so high.
As to election ballot shenanigans, it is known as fact that enough balance were counted that shouldn't have been that would have sent the election the other way.
This has to do with voters caught by their change of address forms. Which was taken to court and thrown out by Stacey Abrams sister who should have recused herself.
State law is that if you were not eligible for the original election you can't vote in the runoff. Yet large numbers did. And there was some evidence that some of those were temporary out of state attempts to swing the election.
Shhhh......you're not supposed to mention *cough cough* voter fraud or shenanigans. :nono: It never happened, it's figment of your imaginative right-wing conspiracy theories.Quote:

Me either, but it's a statistical fact that more people who voted Republican in the primary failed to show up for the runoff than Democrats. There's also another angle to consider. The history of runoffs in Georgia is that the Republicans always do better than they did in the general election. There are two reasons for this. The first is that Republican voters have a history of being more reliable. The second is that the 3% or so of people who piss their votes away in the general election voting for Libertarians break heavily toward the Republican direction in runoffs. However, Trump kept the pot stirred up so much that the Democrats were highly motivated to stick it to him again. Therefore, they showed up in numbers well in excess of their historical runoff voting pattern.Quote:

The problem I'm seeing is conservatives in my area are wasting their votes on libertarian nonsense.
There is a 100% chance they will lose EVERYTIME yet I have a couple neighbors, guys at the gun club and members of a state level gun group I belong to, that we have lost their votes.
I listen to their speachs but then see the idiot they had as VP candidate saying stupid stuff like illegal aliens should be allowed to carry guns, and reality sets in. They don't have the numbers and dumb stuff like that will keep me away from consideration. Too bad the others can't see that.
Hell a former trader from my state Justin Smash was kicking the idea of being their candidate, that should be a huge red flag for everyone to run as fast as they can from that sinking ship.
I specifically recall the efforts of Dems calling on out-of-state people to "move" to Georgia in order to sway the election. It happened and was mentioned by pinzgauer above:Quote:

I definitely remember Republicans I had to BEG to "vote anyway." They are relatives of my wife and a family from church I remember arguing with in the church parking lot. A lot of people were listening to Lin Wood's craziness and Trumps' early post election grumblings. I basically would point out that not voting would mean it wasn't stolen so just vote anyway. I think they came around or at least they claimed to.
I always come at them with this... "Your vote is your voice, and silence is consent. Do you CONSENT to them bending you over and having their way with you one after another, or are you gonna make your refusal of consent heard every way you can?"
The text of the law stated "Only the electors who were duly registered to vote and not subsequently deemed disqualified to vote in the primary, special primary, election, or special election for candidates for that particular office shall be entitled to vote therein, and only those votes cast for the persons designated as candidates in such run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be counted in the tabulation and canvass of the votes cast."Quote:

Yet the Georgia Runoff Election Fact Sheet produced by the U.S. Vote Foundation stated "If you didn’t vote in the 2020 General Election, you are still eligible to vote in the runoff and you may register through December 7th."

The way it's supposed to work is the people checking ID are to verify that the voter actually voted in the general election. So far as I could tell, there was nothing computerized to ensure that this happened. They just had a printed list to go by. I'm sure some did their jobs, but others didn't. It's literally a crime to vote in a runoff if you didn't vote in the general election. I know of nobody who was prosecuted.
