Perdue must not have a lot of faith in his state’s voter suppression tactics

‘I’m SURE that the State of Georgia will be able to screw up the voting laws for 2022 so that ANY Republican will win! It will take the Democrats another 6 years to straighten it out!’ Says the crooked, ‘graceless’ POS.

Is he running for El Presidente?

My guess: he isn’t sure he would survive what is likely to be a brutal GOP primary:

The former Fortune 500 executive is probably the only candidate who could clear the field of other well-known challengers, but two other 2020 Republican rivals are also ruminating on a run: Loeffler and former U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, who fought throughout the year for a spot in the runoff against Warnock.

A large cast of other Republicans is exploring a bid, a list that includes Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and attorney Randy Evans, a former U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg with ties to Trump and ex-U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Oops. Could it be because Purdue just discovered Warnock isn’t up for reelection until 2026?

“I am hopeful that the Georgia general assembly, along with our statewide elected officials, will correct the inequities in our state laws and election rules…"

Fixed.

Not any Republican. The primaries will fiercely weed out RINOs who don’t perfectly follow Trump. Purdue, for some unfathomable reason, is now considered a RINO. And Loeffler, by not voting with the Insurrectionists, has no future in politics in Georgia.

I wonder if I was a GA voter who voted in 2020 could I sue Perdue for that last part about illegal votes?
I’m really tired of this shit. Georgia recounted their votes by machine, and in some cases by hand, and Perdue is still claiming that the election there was rigged, or was not clean. I’m sure Perdue hasn’t looked at any of the data that shows how many people voted, how many new voters voted, and where they live. Besides he ran in a whole state election, and the voters told you to take a hike with your insider trading.

Ossoff is up in 2026. Warnock was elected to finish Isakson’s term.

We need a comprehensive national voter rights bill which guarantees voter access for all people.

Perdue, not Purdue. Purdue is the chicken processing company.

He must have realized that whatever Georgia does to suppress votes, it isn’t going to matter. The Republicans are declining and Democrats are fully engaged.
