One of the phony ways republicans try to convince people of stolen elections is that in-day voting, which favors republicans, is normally counted first with early voting and mail-ins, which favor democrats afterwards. So it looks like they're winning 'bigly,' and then are somehow and mysteriously overtaken later on.

A friend of a friend on FB claimed that democrats were voting multiple times by going from precinct to precinct. I explained that if your name isn't in the precinct poll book, you would be directed to your correct precinct & if you couldn't get there in time to vote, you'd be given a provisional ballot. He asked what a provisional ballot was & I suggested maybe he volunteer as an election judge or poll watcher to learn how the process works. Highly doubtful he will, though.

You can't argue with stupid.

I mean, he got authoritative information from his cousin's hairdresser's brother's dog-walker that Democrat voters were going from precinct to precinct and casting dozens and dozens of ballots! No, nobody can say where this happened. One of those sort-of rectangular states, maybe.

That's the problem with these made-up stories, is that as soon as you start probing for particulars their nonsense falls apart like a Jenga tower.

What's ironic is that the repubs used to push voting absentee not too long ago. When Covid was in full swing I switched to mail in/absentee voting. So I am now one of those proud Dems to vote this way.

I think that's very possible.
I'm confident he'll win by more than 100K.

Most polls show Warnock with about a 3-4 point lead. However, I think Walker has been deflating the past two weeks, so I'm going to go with 4 points on this one. 5 if Republicans are really unmotivated, which I get the feeling may be the case.
