I'm making calls to GA again. It worked wonders in January of 2021. We can do it again.

I saw some stats over the weekend that Repubs constitute around 55% of the total primary vote in GA so far. If this holds in November, we’re in for a wipeout. Granted, there are no competitive or high profile candidates duking it out on our side unlike on the Republican side. Still, we’re going to need a healthy number of independents to break our way if Republicans are flocking to the polls.

But do you vote for the weakest Republican candidate or for the least horrible? Always a dilemma.

15. The insurrectionist candidates can't be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

I'd feel much better going into the Fall knowing that Kemp and Raffensperger were the worst case scenarios.

At least there is a chance that those two might let my vote count in 2024.

13. A lot of the Democratic races are unopposed, or weakly opposed-- Like Stacey Abrams is a shoo-in.

7. Apparently Republican voters are much higher than Democrats though

according to the numbers they showed on MSNBC last night.

Could be some Dems voting Republican though since it's an open primary.

14. That is true; however, lot of Democrats are unopposed or weakly opposed. Example, Abrams is shoo-in.
