afaik the process of visually confirming the ballot is signed, then opening it, then running it through the machine is standard.

if we had a machine that verified it was signed on its own i think we'd still have allegations its rigged.

Similarly, GA turning to blue can be considered "the revenge of Stacey Abrams", whose voter turnout efforts since her 2018 defeat got Biden over the hump in her state. (GA might still end up in Trump's column, or remain unresolved forever, after a recount and court battles).

both this vote and Stacey Abrams are a direct result of Killer Mike, TI, and their lot getting away from diamond chains and flexing and into the business/politics game.

they've really turned Atlanta around in that regard and activated a number of voters that should scare the GOP shitless, especially after they see Biden take GA and realize they really can make a difference.

and for the record they did it by working with local businesses, local police, local politicians, etc. its a great model for racial unity nationwide that should be copied.

long chain, but for anyone interested the tl;dr is that pretty much every house dem that lost was opposed to progressive policies.

not sure if that was posted already, but lol

Yeah, looking at the demographics and in-migration patters in Georgia, it looks irredeemable for the GOP. Even if Trump had held on this year, the state would have been gone in a few years.

With Trump out of the way, the GOP can staunch the bleeding in the suburbs, and the potential for them to make inroads with hispanics is definitely there. AZ, PA, NC - they can win back or hold on in those states. But the groundswell of young and/or black voters in Atlanta, coupled with its suburbs turning from ruby-red to light-blue, seems insurmountable.

YAAAAS SQUAAAADDDDD

And Trump by definition did not have a powerful mandate, despite the strong performance by Republicans that year. The same is true here, especially because voters backed Republicans so strongly in the House and Senate.
