If the voting in Fulton County was as bad as it now looks, Purdue actually won the election in 2020 with over 50% of the vote on election day.

This didn't get much notice yesterday when Fulton County lost its motion for return of the 600 boxes of election documents from 2020, including all of the actual ballots that were cast and counted.

The current leadership at DOJ is Todd Blanche serving as Acting Attorney General, while also being the confirmed Deputy Attorney General, and Stanley Woodward as Associate Attorney General, the DOJ #3 position.

Thomas Albus was given nationwide authority by former AG Bondi to look into election fraud claims from the 2020 election.

R. Trent McCotter, as "Principal Assistant" is the "first among equals" of the multiple Assistant Deputies that report directly to the Deputy AG -- Blanche. The position is the functional Chief of Staff.

Michael Weisbuch is a specially appointed "Senior Counsel" to Woodward. Best description I can offer is that those positions are focused on one particular matter.

This fight with Fulton County was over a search warrant -- a criminal matter. That would typically involve someone like Albus, and whatever staff of AUSAs he has working on the project Bondi gave him.

We know they now have a GJ subpoena out seeking identifications of persons who were involved in the vote counting -- that means they are lining up witnesses to testify.

The fact that the fight over possession of the seized election materials was waged by personnel out of the No. 2 and No. 3 DOJ officials tells you the level of importance attached to it.

Yesterday they won when the Judge denied the motion. Now Albus and his team can begin looking at the documents that Fulton County has kept under lock and key for 6 years.

My prediction is that Dooley will do better in the Senate primary than people think and it will build momentum into the runoff and he'll have a swinging chance.

Brian Kemp has a strong constituency, especially around metro Atlanta. I can see suburban voters rolling with Dooley.

Adrian Peterson, although he'd have to be a write-in.

So are the two leading Republicans in the primary polls.

Burt Jones would beat Keisha with no problems. He has the GISA country club Republican vote sewn up and he also has Trump's endorsement.

If the Dems were smart, they'd organize and vote en masse for Jackson in the primary.

I'm not so sure. Bottoms didn't have a great run as mayor, but like the 2018 election there isn't a clear candidate for the Republicans and Kemp won a narrow victory over a weaker candidate(Abrams). I think main election may go to a runoff.

I think 2020 proved why that was "a narrow victory".

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

I'm sure you're right. You sound like you're infinitely more knowledgeable about the whole matter.

Not as big of a positive as it used to be, if you look at the metros.

I think the metro Atlanta Republicans who identify more with Kemp will break for Burt Jones. Put this with the Trump endorsement, and that's why I think Jones will win.

Or at least I hope he does, I bet way more money than I should ever bet about 5 weeks ago back when Jones was only at about 25 percent (the Jackson YES one is for Jackson to come in second)
