It's raining in Georgia, with more rain expected tomorrow

I think it's really going to affect voter turnout.

Silly GOP should have got their folk to the polls during early voting.

I heard on MSNBC that Walker will really need to overperform tomorrow, as most of the early voting went to Warnock.

Will they melt if rained on?

Democrats don't care. They will go through great lengths to vote no matter what.

To the Tacoma WA area. It's going to be a rainy winter and spring here.

Whose voters are dedicated enough to wait in the rain, and who didn't vote early when they had the chance? If we assume the weather will hurt turnout for Walker (and I think that's likelier than not), the Republicans will have a built-in excuse when Warnock claims his Senate seat for a full term. I wonder how many of Walker's disappointed voters will entertain the possibility that God Almighty sent the rain to stop Walker from being elected? Or if saying that will just make them even more shoutycrackers?

some Republicans are fund raising for him, but keeping up to seventy percent of the donations.

delivered to each republican household when it rains?

No way the Gerrymanders are going to require their voters to stand in the rain. Raindrops on their acidic skin could create potentially dynamic, boiling splashing acid!
