20 days left until the Georgia US Senate runoffs (#4337)

      314,499 voters in Georgia have sent in mail in ballots while 168,293 Georgians voted on the first early in person voting day. That is a total of 482,792 votes already banked and there are still 17 days left for early voting. Remember there were just under 5 million voters in the just completed general election and overall there are over 7 million eligible voters in Georgia. If the current totals in first day of in person early voting and the first few days of mail in voting is any hopeful indication we are well on our way for Georgia to get near or surpass it's record breaking turnout of last month.
     Which is what we democrats need to have happen. Even though the republican control of elections in Georgia are doing more this time to obstruct voting it seems that the voters have made up their minds to vote despite the obstruction. The reason may be the clarity that the importance of who controls the Senate is who controls if we have progress for the next 2 years. Will it be the Biden administration or will it be the shadow trump clan through mcconnell? It is that simple when trying to figure out what to do. Should democrats get the overwhelming mandate they won during the last election or will the shadow trumps get it to deny and disrupt the health and welfare of our nation.
     With the republican party still being divisive even within it's own membership; and both the democratic candidates uniting behind a message of a new beginning with help for the working middle poor class. The momentum is on the side of we democrats by my estimation because this is still Georgia, a red state up until last month. That we democrats are tied or slightly ahead in the polling does tell me that more voters are looking at what democrats can offer than are not. We need to keep the numbers rolling in on early voting so that we make sure that all the democrat and favoring independent voters get their voices heard for the rest of us patiently and anxiously watching.
