Jackson for governor and Ossoff for senator


I'll take that deal. I don't care much for Ossoff but I can't think of anything bad he's done, other than being a Democrat. I wonder who's running against Warnok when his seat comes up.

Are you too lazy to walk next door and deliver it in person, or are you too entitled and expect others to do it for you?

It was meant as a tongue in cheek response.

But you keep on overreacting to life if it makes you feel better.

Everything depends on the controlling of filling out of absentee ballots of legal registered voters who didn't vote post election day like they did in 2020 to get what they need. If its stopped, Jackson probably wins by 5%, if not, who knows.

That would be quite a conspiracy and would require an incredible amount of coordination. Also, everyone would have to remain tight-lipped and no one could snitch. 5 percent, you're talking about poll workers secretly filling out over 100,000 ballots in plain sight of poll watchers and cameras and whoever and whatever else.

I haven't seen any poll numbers, but the Bottoms vs Jackson race should be real tight.

My water utility is 1/2 mile from our post office. They mail my water bill on the 17th and I get it on the 27th. If I mail it back on the 28th, it is not received until after the 10th and is late. I drive 10 miles and hand-deliver my check. Our post office ships the mail to Birmingham for sorting, then it is shipped back to Huntsville for delivery to our local post office, then sorted and delivered to my mailbox.

^^^We're all guessing here, but I don't agree with your confidence in Jackson.

In 2022 53 perent of the primary ballots were Republican, and Brian Kemp got 53 percent in the general election. He was also the incumbent, and Stacey Abrams wasn't very relatable and was goofy.

In 2026 57 percent of the primary ballots were Democrat, and Brian Kemp isn't running, and Keisha Lance Bottoms isn't Stacey Abrams and is way less goofy. She'll be much more relatable to white women, and Rick Jackson is way more likely to creep white women out than Brian Kemp.

Lance Bottoms will get hit hard with ads about the George Floyd protests, but she also caught plenty of shite from the BLM people at the time. She was one of the first big city mayors to call in the National Guard, and then she told the protestors to "Go home." And after that she increased the police budget and added more officers.

Don't care how articulate he is. (D) Party has gone full retard. Everybody knows you don't go full retard. We cannot afford to roll the dice on an "articulate" dem. Marxism is openly on the march and has comandeered the Democrat party. Hard pass.

Ossoff and Warnock both voted for the laken Riley act...which now those to their left are criticising them for but still. I think compared to the super crszy lefties, he is pretty mild

Great...good for him. Glad he voted for that act. Still hard pass. He's not going to vote for the SAVE America Act.

Sure at first she did and then she was 100% behind the protest. She also fired the officer involved in the Wendy's shooting who was NEVER charged and later reinstated. The Police Chief at the time resigned over her actions. She let armed thugs take over Pryor Street and also let protesters block interstates.

quote:

They had to add more officers because a record number resigned or "retired" in 2020 specifically because of her.

No. The ballots would already be printed and located at an offsite location. Biden only won Georgia by less than 12k votes. You would only need very few people with access to voter rolls. This is why boxes of ballots were dropped off at precincts in the middle of the night with only the presidential portion filled in with a scribble signature. When you aren't verifying voter ID or signature, one person could fill out hundreds or thousands of ballots per day. When you have a week or two weeks do to this, it wouldn't take much. Just like in LA recently when Ramen all of a sudden came from behind with absentee ballots, but mainly when the increased sales tax was almost unanimous yes with the post election day absentee ballots. This is why they love when conspiracy theories about dominion and other bogus claims dominate the news, because it detracts from what they were actually doing the entire time. Its the same thing with the lab leak and covid. "Its a conspiracy theory!" The real question the entire time wasn't whether it was a lab leak, but from where? Wuhan, Ukraine, North Carolina?

Biden won just one belwether county in 2020. That is all you need to know about the 2020 operation in the five swing state urban counties. "We need to wait for all the votes to be counted" is what he said weeks before the election. 2020 mattered more than any other because of the census data. The entire operation to funnel immigrants in over his four years wasn't necessarily voters, it was a desperation move to backfill massive population losses in big time representative states like NY, CA, and IL. With the massive populations shifts to red states the Democrats would lose so much representation they wouldn't win the house for two decades.

Not necessarily; the population shifts aren't making places redder. The blue states go ultraviolet, and the red states become purple, or even flip.

That would be true but Republicans control said states and the redistricting of those states.

"Seat Reapportionment: Following the 2020 census, states like Texas (which gained two seats), Florida, and North Carolina gained a combined four seats. In contrast, liberal-leaning states like California, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania lost seats. Because Republicans controlled the redistricting processes in the growing states of Texas, Florida, and North Carolina, they were able to convert these newly created seats directly into political"
