2 days left until the Georgia US Senate runoffs (#4355)

      The calm before the storm begins today although these last two days will not be calm. One republican, perdue, has been sidelined with Covid-19 protocols and the other republican is ramping up such lies that it is hard to believe this is a serious national race and not some junior high school popularity contest. 38.8% of eligible Georgia voters have been accounted for so far with what should be several of thousands still returning their mail in ballots. 57.3% of eligible Georgia voters cast their ballots last month and if we are to see equal numbers to that then the voting day in all counties in all precincts will have to be record breaking.
     It can be done but the likelihood of it being done is not a great bet. Yet, I wouldn't be surprised if at least a million and a half votes were cast on January 5th. That is optimistic but with all the attention this race is getting it wouldn't be close to impossible. All I know for sure is that we democrats and like minded others need to get our votes cast on January 5th if we haven't done so yet. The only thing we have control over is our determination to vote. We control that, each of us, and we should never let the rigmarole of the day leave us short of doing the most important thing we have to do in this time frame. Nothing is more important than getting our vote tabulated, nothing!
     By choice I am a political scientist who takes the defining of how our democracy works as priority number one. I have held many jobs in my life but those were to keep money in my pockets. My passion is politics and the defending of democratic values. I do not suffer idiots nor those who would upheave our egalitarian form of government. If republicans had the will to fight for the working middle poor class I would support them but they are not doing that. Instead they continue to support the wealthy class and promote dismantling our democracy. To me they are traitors to our way of government and also as bad for the working middle poor class as any political party in history!
