What some have dismissed as confined to a fringe element is becoming a recurring theme in the Georgia runoff campaigns: that President Donald Trump’s supporters, convinced that the general election was rigged, may just opt out of voting in January.
“The thing right now is trying to figure out the fastest way to ensure that the vote is going to be secure…"
Probably can’t be done, but I look for someone in Georgia, be it the Governor or Legislature or courts, to try and limit or eliminate mail-in voting for the runoffs.
But so far, he’s largely used that megaphone to keep his own grievances front and center, no matter the risk of depressing his base and torpedoing the Republican cause.
I can see this election being in the courts for months after it’s over, allowing Mitch to have the majority to stop the first 100 days legislation push.
At the same time, don’t believe the ‘don’t bother voting’ sentiment for a moment. This is a smokescreen to ensure the Dems are complacent about this and hand a mighty victory to the two criminals running on the GOP side. At that point, no litigation will be needed and the two will be certified and sworn in before the Dems can mount similar charges of fraud.
Kemp next took the stage, trying to claw back some MAGA bona fides after spending days on the receiving end of Trump’s fury. He too cast doubt on the election,…
They oughta give it up: they’re outclassed.
Soros and Hillary have successfully concealed their leadership of an infant-eating, Satanic cult for decades. Hiding national election fraud beneath a blanket of apparent probity is child’s play for them.
Republicans always fall in line and they will vote but I am fairly convinced there are a number, possibly a significant number, of Trump voters who are not Republicans, are in fact not really political at all; they just want to hit someone and neither of the Republican candidates satisfy that need.

I think it is a fringe element that will ‘reason’ in this way. But there is a broader form of demoralization. That said, there seems little reason to believe that determined R voters won’t turn out as they always do, and I’m sure that the D candidates expect nothing less.
I must confess that I find GA politically very opaque at this point. So many new voters have been registered by Dems, and many of them might have failed to vote downballot out of sheer inexperience and maybe won’t this time around. My fantasy is that GA the flipside of FL–the state where blue sentiment is growing stronger, under the radar of pollsters.
You’ve got it - Trump’s core doesn’t like politicians at all and has no love for the GOP or Mitch and mostly don’t care about the senate. That’s exactly why they like Trump. He isn’t a politician.
When Ingraham prompted Kemp for “legislative fixes” that could be done to un-rig the January election, he said that legal action is the quickest route to take. Trump’s team has so far been spectacularly unsuccessful in its various lawsuits.
“The thing right now is trying to figure out the fastest way to ensure that the vote is going to be secure because it’s like Lin Wood saying today, urging people not to go vote in this election and all that’s going to do is give the Democrats everything they want,” Kemp said, referring to the pro-Trump lawyer. “It’s going to give the radicals everything they want.”
Isn’t this a form of misdirection? Wood said “don’t vote”, while here Kemp is invoking Wood, but changing what he said.
Oh and did the candidates take any questions from the audience?
