I don’t believe the unsourced speculation that Biden met with her to discuss the VP nomination. I believe Biden sought her endorsement. Georgia was on Super Tuesday in 2016. They haven’t chosen the date of their 2020 primary but there is a possibility it could be on Super Tuesday too. Any candidate running would want her endorsement.
I’ve lived in Georgia for almost 15 years (granted, in Atlanta, which is quite a different thing from the outlying areas). Between the overall population and continuing voter suppression, I don’t see us as being a 2020 swing state. But if we are, it’s all over for The Donald.
I moved down to Georgia in late July and I had the chance to participate in the gubernatorial election. After seeing the process in which voters have to go through to elect people, it’s no wonder this lawsuit is important. The platform looks like it runs on Windows 2.0 instead of 10, it’s that outdated.
Would that have tipped the balance of the election? Who knows? This state is still ruby red, but Dems made some headway (see McBath, Lucy). If we can change this state to purple, it would be huge for the next election.
You may believe GA is a swing state…the degree of suppression and shenanigans makes me skeptical…I will root for Ms. Abrams to bring them into better focus on the National stage.
She’s right. After 35 years, the Gingrich revolution has shown itself to be an abject failure.
