The idea that GA's new voting laws were to suppress voters and yet, the end result appears to be a record turnout. Voter turnout 212%
Reported to have double digit increases across the board (to include minority voting). My goodness, how'd that happen?
It would appear the Suppression didn't work.............. 
Someone on the Left (or Right) please explain that one to me.

Do we see where the voting took place (on the right or left)? Isn't Herschel Walker running in GA, or was that in PA?

Walker is running in GA. I think he's running for a Senate seat.
What I heard was DJT's choice was beaten but, don't know who won the Republican seats. The Dems only had one candidate running for Governor, Stacie Abrams is her name.

Well, regardless of who won, it's painfully obvious that "Voter Suppression" failed miserably.
Voters came out in huge numbers. We're gonna have to come up with another way to keeps folks from voting I guess. That would be sarcasm for those who don't recognize it as such.

Walker was Trump's "endorsement". He soundly beat his challenger in the primary. He'll be up against Warnock. That might be an ugly competition.
Kemp pretty much beat hell out of Purdue. ~73% to... whatever.
Thank your lucky stars that you didn't have to listen to all the campaign ads. Purdue came off like an idiot. But then he pretty much always has been an idiot.
Except for a few localities (like the eastern 'burbs, where the new Rivian plant is going in) Kemp is very well liked.
Now we get to listen to six months of "Kemp vs Stacey" ads - among others.  God help us.

Apparently, this New York Times columnist agrees. He's a Republican-leaning columnist that appears regularly in the Op-Ed section.
EXCERPT
| quote | [T]he primary balloting in Georgia saw record early-voting turnout and no evidence of meaningful impediments to voting, which exploded a different crisis narrative that took hold on the left — and in corporate America and the Biden White House — when the state passed new voting regulations last year. According to that narrative, in trying to address the paranoia of their own constituents, Republicans were essentially rolling back voting rights, even recreating Jim Crow — “on steroids,” to quote our president.
There was little good evidence for this narrative at the time, and even less evidence in the turnout rate for the Georgia primary, where early voting numbers were higher even than in 2020. “Jim Crow on steroids” should be stricken from the crisis cycle; it does not exist. |
