I might actually be proud of my state for once. My household are part of the absentee ballots. Someone tell the repugs to leave our votes alone and quit suing everyone.

talking about how this is the closest election since 2000. And everyone praising trump for defying all odds and getting 70 mil votes.

So they're still drinking trump's koolade.

The annual Florida Georgia football game is today. Normally I would root for the Gators but today I'm all in for the Bulldogs red and black!

Does this represent a real demographic change in a Georgia, enough so that Georgia can be in play in future elections?

Or is this just a one-time fluke as a result of extremely successful work by Abrams and others in response to the critical reaction to Trump, and once he is gone, it goes back to solid red?

Is the demographic changing for hope for the future?

Abrams registered a ton of them and there were no 7 hour lines to vote with mail-in ballots.

I suspect that we were more BLUE than our election counts were reflecting - until this election when voters in general were allowed to vote by absentee ballot. It has always been my gut feeling that the voting machines - especially the old Diebold machines - allowed vote total tampering.

Great news ....

But there are provisional ballots out there and military ballots as well.

The provisional ballots come from across the entire state=Dem and Rep votes. I'm waiting to see how the military pans out coming from Ga. As we know, the military votes that were collected from Pa. went to Biden 4-1. I'm thinking that fatso didn't do well at all with our military, so this means that with the military vote and provisional votes out there, Biden has an solid chance of holding onto Georgia, and putting 16 more GE votes into his column.

I guess when you use those in the military as props, or see them as "losers" and "suckers," when they're risking their lives for us, especially if you're a rich draft-dodger yourself, that doesn't sit too well with MOST in the military.
