In Abrams we trust. It will be interesting to see how they fare when Trump is not on the ballot.
Warnock will have the pleasure of saying he defeated both Loeffler and Perdue on his resume.
They are already working on restricting the voting in GA big time though. Pretty sure I saw an article saying they went after all the ways people were able to vote immediately after losing.
Georgia Republicans are pushing a series of new voting rules that would clamp down on or roll back many of the policies that helped drive Democratic turnout in recent elections.
The measures being introduced in the GOP-controlled state legislature include efforts to ban automatic voter registration and the use of drop boxes for returning absentee ballots. Another proposal seeks to do away with a state law that allows voters to cast absentee ballots without an excuse for doing so.
The new push for voting restrictions comes after Democrats scored a slew of victories in Georgia in late 2020 and early 2021.
"The 2020 election revealed dramatic weaknesses in Georgia's system for conducting elections, and as a result, public confidence in the integrity of that system has been shattered," the report reads. "Public confidence cannot be restored by pretending that these weaknesses do not exist. A problem must first be recognized before it can be solved."
Still, the efforts have clear political undertones. One of the proposals recommended by the Georgia GOP's Election Confidence Task Force calls for the state Elections Division to be placed under the purview of the state Elections Board, effectively stripping the secretary of state's office of its elections oversight duties.
Raffensperger ran afoul of Trump and his allies after defending the state's handling of its elections and pushing back against the former president's assertions that the presidential contest had been stolen from him. Trump continued to make the claims despite courts repeatedly tossing out his team's legal challenges to the election results.
Several of the election reform proposals from both legislators and the state GOP appear geared toward addressing the complaints of Trump and his campaign, who frequently spread baseless claims that widespread absentee voting would lead to rampant election fraud.
Warnock was filling a seat that was mid-term, so he only finishes the term that was left
The "To Kill a Mockingbird" strategyPerdue basically gambling that Republicans are more sexist than racist.

This seat is very losable if turnout droops, and Perdue is a better candidate than Loeffler.Warnock will have the pleasure of saying he defeated both Loeffler and Perdue on his resume.
Abrams running for governor is a benefit, since she'll be turning out voters who will also vote downticket.I don't know why people are so confident here. It was a very weird race under weird circumstances not the least of which was the President telling his supporters not to vote because it's rigged, and it was very close. Plus won't Abrams be busy running for governor? Or is that 2024?
Yeah, they are rigging this shit hard and hope everything can get together for them in 2022. Expect this to be the gameplan coming in 2022 for the senate races.yes, this needs much more traction.
The party is trying to stop the mail in voting and some other bullshit, ballot boxes, the whole voting process.

Is Stacey Abrams gonna run the same year right? She is gonna murder the GOP just because of her beef with Kemp.Warnock will have the pleasure of saying he defeated both Loeffler and Perdue on his resume.
Not just that, but against the black guy who is actually considerably more popular than the white guy. If Perdue couldn't beat Ossof, then he's going to lose even worse to Warnock.
With Abrams almost certainly running for governor, I'm optimistic there's going to be very strong turnout in Georgia next fall.This seat is very losable if turnout droops, and Perdue is a better candidate than Loeffler.
He's not beating Warnock as long as ATL and metro ATL are engaged. From all indications, they will remain locked in.I feel like if he lost to Ossoff he's definitely not going to beat Warnock.
Depends on how badly the Dems fuck up these next two years. I could see him winning.
