43. I didn't think Harris would win Georgia.

Nov 11

There was excitement, but I think the Magas came out to ensure his victory, not like in 2020, when I think they thought his victory in Georgia was a given. And I think magas are misogynistic, superficial, choose ignorance, and felt like they already knew him.

Still, I'm surprised Harris' total votes weren't closer. And we had voter suppression in several mostly minority precincts due to bomb threats.

I haven't heard of any other voting shenanigans.

The net of those uncounted votes would have to swing MASSIVELY in Harris's favor to make much difference. paleotn Nov 11 #23

I did not argue that she would gain, let alone net, 10M votes. But she will likely spooky3 Nov 11 #25

Understood. The gap may narrow a bit but it's still a huge gap. Weird. Just weird. paleotn Nov 11 #31
