I'm about a 12 hour drive to Atlanta.

I'll gladly make that trip in January if I can do anything to help flip those two Senate seats. Biden needs his people confirmed, he needs to be able to appoint judges, and he has to get his agenda passed. If McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader, that's not going to happen.

If Tuesday was the single most important election of our lifetimes, these two special elections are right behind. We need to do everything in our power to take those seats and flip the Senate.

I may fly out there.

Do we have dates of the special elections? and also links to how to volunteer (poll observation, canvassing, phone banking, ballot curing).

And we have somewhere to suit everybody ... a big city, beaches, mountains, suburbs, small towns, hipster neighborhoods ... you name it.

11. My youngest daughter lived in Atlanta for several years. Great place, but Florida has nicer weather.

I am waiting for someone to tell me I can't move to Georgia, register to vote and vote in January. It appears one must only be a "legal resident."

5. I still wish we could call for a statewide audit in NC of the Tillis/Cunningham election.

The totals of paper ballots fed into the tabulators are probably much different than what the tabulators show.

I truly do not believe the polls were wrong. I believe the tabulating machines were tampered with.

Just sent $25 each to:

- Stacey Abrams' group - www.fairfight.com
- Ossoff
- Warnock

Georgia still might flip to Biden. So let's make it a trifecta... President and BOTH Senators !!

10. McConnell can't control all the Republican votes.

Biden may be able to reach across the aisle. He’s done it for decades with Republicans who are still there right now. It was one thing when racism was rampant in the Republican base and when Trump’s mob threatened them. Biden is President now. He isn’t Black and he isn’t a raging racist.

It might make a difference.
