Sadly it appears so. I never thought I would live in a Blue State in my lifetime.

With that said and I respect anyone's individual political opinion. BUT if you are more of a "red State" person like I am.
These run off elections for Senate in our state will be the most critical elections in our lifetime. I hope those of us on the right mobilize and in the short term ensure we hold the senate as our state will decide that it appears.

The mobilize again to work (the right way not like the left) through grassroots and tea party efforts to get our state back....

That's not likely to go the way you want it too. There's 8900 ballots that were sent, that doesn't mean 8900 were sent back. Historically, it's closer to 1k, and according to the latest military poll. They're supporting Biden more than Trump.

Not saying you're wrong on the outcome, but why would any military person support the guy that helped approve the needless wars over the guy that hasn't started a new war and is brokering peace throughout the middle east?

Hopefully those pills are as accurate as all the others.

8,000 were requested. Unclear how many were returned. Also you better hope they are enlisted and not officer. Also better hope they are white enlisted. Nearly 40% of enlisted in the Army (the service with the most overseas) are black.

My guess would be it has a lot to do with the 30ish former high ranking military members that came out and said Trump's a joke.

The men and women in the armed forces trust their opinion and voted like it. (Allegedly)

I should add that I'm super impressed with the peace deals. And I don't disagree with your thought process. Just think the support Biden received did play a role.

Nope.

But with the way nobody is raising hell about how this thing is being stolen in plain sight, then we might as well be.

No down ballet votes:
Trump- 800
Biden- 90,000

Give me a fricking break

I'm not saying you're wrong as I have not looked into this whatsoever.

But if they wanted to cheat, wouldn't they put osoff in there too?

I could see how their support would lend credence to military members polling for Biden.

To me though, my mind asks why would these high ranking officials be against Trump? Is it policy and their interactions, or is it the fact that Trump is anti-war and that affects their power, roles, and money?

Idk

OK, snowflake.

Maybe it's that the GOP took in Georgia for granted for 4 years until the very last moment when Trump had to come campaign here. The Dems registered 800k people in the past two years. I have a second home at Reynolds, and when I drove past the early voting location on Greensboro last week, there were a TON of black folks in line.

I couldn't agree more. I'm not sure what triggered them to respond this way. Possibly the fact that Trump acts so unpredictably. these guys like to know that when they advise something it will be followed. Trump doesn't work that way.

Bacon is correct on this one. Stacey Abrams and her team outworked the Republicans.

Edit: and that's true whether or not Georgia ends up going for Trump or Biden.

Sadly yes. The conversion of Cobb and Gwinnett made the difference.

The saddest part is we lost some quality local leadership simply based on party. Offices below State shouldn’t be partisan.

Who would have put money in Gwinnett having a black Democrat DA and Sheriff? BLM won the war on this one. It made the difference. Money talks.

If you're older than 28 and lived in Ga., you've lived in a blue state. Clinton carried Ga. in 1992. Carter carried it before that in 1976. Best thing to do now is vote in these run off elections. If either one goes blue, the senate is also in the hands of democrats, and they'll pass whatever the frick they want forever, because they'll win everything from then on. Why? Because they'll change election procedures and pack the SCOTUS so that all rulings favor them.
