Losing Another Runoff, Georgia Republicans Weigh an Election Shake-Up

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/losing-another-runoff-georgia-republicans-weigh-an-election-shake-up/ar-AA152LQH?cvid=f65a1801ac6f4f8594630e2a6030ca9c

As Georgia Democrats won their third Senate runoff election in two years, the party proved it had crafted an effective strategy for triumphing in a decades-old system created to sustain segregationist power and for overcoming an array of efforts to making voting more difficult. Republicans, meanwhile, were quietly cursing the runoff system, or at least their strategy for winning under a state law they wrote after losing the last election.

The various post-mortems over how Georgia’s runoff rules shaped the state’s Senate outcome on Tuesday put a spotlight on a major voting law passed by the Republican-led General Assembly last year. Some Republicans acknowledged that their efforts to limit in-person early voting days might have backfired, while others encouraged lawmakers to consider additional restrictions next year.

With Georgia poised to remain a critical political battleground and with Republicans holding gerrymandered majorities in both chambers of its state legislature, some in the party said that additional election law changes were likely.

***************************************

It's so incredibly transparent... they tout how successful the administration of the election is, but insist on making MORE changes.

The problem is (obviously) that it's still just too damned easy for people to vote! They did their best to restrict voting, yet they still lost. They don't need a different message, or different candidates... they need more voter restrictions.

1. Voting Rights

Pretty soon, the republicans will only allow land owning white men to vote. Would anyone be surprised?

3. No

Sadly

2. Instead of campaigning against free elections

they should try actually running for office... y'know, stand for something positive that people can rally around. Like Democrats do.

4. +1

You would think that there's is only so much manipulation of election law they can do before people realize that they're cheating to win and that their wins may really ARE suspect/illegitimate. And election denialism is clearly not the winning issue they thought it was either.

5. What will they do? By a preponderance of dinky counties...

The sparsely populated red counties have majority rule again? i.e. one vote per county?

6. considering how easy it is to diddle w a 3rd party candidate on the ticket,

the run off system is better for minority rule. so why do they stick w it?
might have been useful to the white party back in the day. but we could easily fuck w them, and make them run twice every time.

i wonder what the history shows. how many times has the 2nd place finisher won the run off?

7. those long lines were a direct result in narrowing the number of days to early vote

I guess they will now shorten them to two..............
