1. So Stacey Abrams is basically the lead Dem Elector...

going to the Nationals next month.

[George II]

2. She's lucky enough to have her name start with "A" - they're alphabetical, but it's symolic!

[Wounded Bear]

5. Whatever, she earned the respect...

Pretty much almost single-handedly turned GA blue.

[George II]

7. Yes, she dragged Georgia over the finish line on her shoulders.

[calimary]

14. Convenient, isn't it!

Rather wickedly convenient, actually!

And there was absolutely no fraud or trickery involved.

That's just how it happens to have "come around on the guit-tarr..." as Arlo Guthrie might say.

[catrose]

12. Well, they're in alphabetical order. But still! Bless you, Stacey Yvonne.

[calimary]

18. Yep! And she deserves an "A" too! An "A+".

Gonna be hard to find somebody to move her off the top. They’d need somebody named Aardvark or some such...

[ShazzieB]

36. Hey,, I have the same middle name as Stacey Abrams!

I missed it until you drew my attention to it, so thanks for that. 😁

[Blue Owl]

3. Damn straight!

[Rorey]

4. I might be crying

Yeah, I probably am.

[soothsayer]

6. Awesome!!!

[Roland99]

8. YES!!

[Skraxx]

9. With This, Trump is Fucked, Because He Can't Overturn 3 Other States

If he's incredibly lucky, maybe he can gum up one for a while, but not 3.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Yeah, without MI and PA it's hovering at 270 for Biden right now...

but hope springs eternal in the RW Trump fever swamp.

[Traildogbob]

10. Back to work

The Georgia SOS and GOP Putin syndicate at midnight pushed through a plan that disallows anyone to vote Jan 5 if you do not have a car registered in Georgia with fees all paid. Blacks and students will be suppressed. Let’s not praise SOS for HAVING to certify. Kemp is at work with trump and Putin style voting restrictions to keep senate with the two GOP Wall Street thieves.

[AllyCat]

15. What???? This is obviously a poll tax. And has nothing to do with voting!

[Traildogbob]

17. Exactly

Typical targeting Dem voting. Forgive me for not remembering the name of the guest that was screaming this out loud, it was the first guest on The Thom Hartmann Show today at noon. I think his name was Greg Palest or close. I will find it. They even said it does not have to even have a floor discussion. The dates to appeal are after Jan 5 election. Many people in Atlanta, blacks, and other large cities do no own cars. Public transportation, taxies, Uber etc. too expensive to park cars and find parking. Many students that live at college for 9 months are considers residents. Do not register cars at college or ride bikes. These assholes hate voting. They say this will stop people driving to Georgia to vote. With Soros funding their travel and stay.
Go get em Stacy.

[dem in texas]

16. What???

Many people do not own cars and car ownership has nothing to do with voting. Is this for real???

[oldsoftie]

19. Oh thats nonsense. Where'd you find that gem of disinformation?

[Traildogbob]

20. Greg Pallest

First guest on Thom Hartmann Show today. From Free Speech TV and Sirius XM Progressive radio. Not Fox.

[Traildogbob]

22. Greg Palast

Investigative Reporter. You can hear the Thom Hartmann show on Sirius XM live or on demand and hear previous shows. Look at Thom’s News letter daily and he highlights each days topics and guests. Thomas is not a bullshitter, and does not allow conspiracy bullshit
Google Palast and read his reporting as well.

[oldsoftie]

24. If they're not bullshitting then they're just wrong.

There's NO news of this anywhere in the state or on any of the cable news shows
Not to mention, it would be tossed out as illegal. It has nothing to do with residency. I know lots of people who dont own cars in their names. Lots of republicans too.
The SoS HAS said all along that anyone who registers to vote who doesnt obtain legal residence WILL be prosecuted.

[Traildogbob]

BREAKING

[Traildogbob]

28. More

The third proposed rule directs counties to “review all available evidence” to determine whether someone registering to vote is a Georgia resident. Also, local registrars may consider whether the applicant has a valid Georgia driver’s license or identification card, or a motor vehicle registered in the state and whether they have paid a required tax on the vehicle as required when moving to Georgia.

If the registrar cannot determine whether the applicant properly resides in Georgia, the rule directs them to process the application but mark it as “challenged,” and to initiate a hearing.

[oldsoftie]

29. That doesnt say you have to have a car to register to vote.

Just that having one is ONE way to verify residence. Or an ID card. Or a drivers license. Or an electric bill. Or a tax bill. All those are ways to verify residency.

[stopdiggin]

30. whoooooa there

none of this would indicate that not having a vehicle registered would be a disqualification. Just one point of possible confirmation in a vetting process. Take a breath, brother.

(it's not disputed that a vetting process can be used to unscrupulous ends -- but not seeing that in the material presented)

[Traildogbob]

33. No breathe needed here

I was just passing on info from a well respected investigative reporter that has written multiple books on election theft. He was on high alert to “Watch this Soace” as Rachel’s usually warns. On a network, Free Speech TV that has been a real warrior in progressive battles and criminal GOP. Thom is also a well respected voice on Progress Sirius XM. Both media outlets are, and have been outstanding fighters against the GOP criminals and Fox BS. Greg was ALERTING of the real possibility of them using this MidNight attempt to suppress votes. And if you do not think Kemp and GOP will launch nukes to keep McConnell in charge of Biden, ask Stacy. Memo has no morals. I fell good she will take the fight to them, but do not think Jan 5 will be honestly ran in Ga and pull out any dirty trick to not loose senate power. No taking a breath needed here. I am chill. Sunset, wine, mountains and isolation. Newly strung all 9 guitars. No blues now, just happy songs.
I have Trump family in Georgia. Pretty happy rubbing this in their faces. Cheers to all.
Got some babies on the grill to go with the wine and just deposited thousands of Soros cash in my account. Good days.

[LiberalArkie]

21. I wonder if Jimmy Carter has a car in his name?

And most of the wealthy have theirs in a company name.

[sandensea]

27. He and Rosalynn would be the FIRST people they'd disenfranchise if they could

Georgia Rethugs (and across the Deep South generally) consider them race traitors - which to them, is much worse than being Black.

[stopdiggin]

31. nope. this is just not accurate. you misunderstood something. (nt)

[Turin_C3PO]

37. Not even close to accurate.

BTW, Greg Palast isn’t the best source of information.

[stillcool]

11. sweet.

[iluvtennis]

23. Awesome news!

[crickets]

26. Beautiful! nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. Very fitting!

Dems owe so much to her!

[Cha]

34. Rt.. I just knew.. TY!

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. Fantastic!

She is so fantastic! That woman deserves some SERIOUS recognition. It's possible that she might have brought the Democratic Party the Senate.

I know. It's by NO means a slam dunk, but without her, it would probably be merely a glimpse of the GOP's taillights as they pulled away.

[SpankMe]

38. If only the head of the GSA would sign her cert of ascertainment... n/t
