    This what the MSM is not even talking about. Another dark part of America's history resurfaces as these corrupt POS continuing suppressing the vote.

    Wow look at the reliable sources you have here. "Think Progress", that's just the Leftist version of Breitbart. But seriously I read the article, and two unsubstantiated claims and two stories that can't be proven to be Handel "suppressing" votes doesn't merit much controversy, that is why nobody with any real press credentials picked this story up.

    Lol. Ossoff got as many votes as the GA-6 Democrat vote in the 2016 Presidential election year. Handel got almost as many votes as Price got in the 2014 midterm. Considering that Liberals motivation by hatred equates to the excitement of an election year, there were no surprises. You could blame it on the partisan rain storm as Madcow did.

    Oh look...
    The Dems lose ANOTHER elections and blame everyone but themselves.
    Surprise surprise.

    Maybe if liberals would stop burning, looting, and shooting people at baseball practice, they'd win more elections.

    This the forth time in special elections that democrats have gone down in flames. With this one democrats said it was a referendum on Trump, ok, lets say it was, and Trump won.

    It would seem the OP and liberals in general are really getting their underlovlies in a bunch since they keep on losing!!!!!!!!!!!! When are they going to get the idea their extreme left position is a LOSING position.

    BTW the OP is getting a name for herself because of all her name calling when it comes to Trump and the republican. But then--------------------name calling like a 4 year old seems to be about all democrats have left.

    I'm sure, when you're demanding that any gun owner goes through extensive background checks.... oh never mind. The above is merely hyperbole. It's the "innuendo" of a complaint without the actual factual basis for it. This is the BS the left have attempted to foist on us lest we actually wake TFU to what is actually happening in terms of who is getting voter registrations in these states. Ask how many times motor voter allowed a voter registration to be extended to an illegal alien in CA... And if you can't get an answer, ask why not?

    Makes another accusation. And the New Georgia Project have been co plaintiffs in every suit filed in Georgia by the leftness.

    Then the Sec of State responded. Despite all that talk about voter suppression. Which your group started with Georgia's voter ID Law. Lost and has been at it ever since.



    So New Georgia Project contacted the Republican Secretary of State’s office.
    “You know what they told us? ‘We don't know what you're talking about. What forms?’ They did not disappear. We intentionally registered voters on paper forms so that we could make copies. We knew who they were. They were not on the voter rolls. - See more at: http://www.gregpalast.com/will-new-...ndel-congressional-race/#sthash.C4S6FCKo.dpuf

    Are you unable to admit that ensuring the integrity of our elections is important?

    Are you unable to admit that ensuring the integrity of our elections and voter suppression are NOT the same thing?

    Just curious because in this post you are equating the two (without a shred of evidence that it occurred).

    I noticed she didn't say anything about the Demos and the leftness trying to buy another election. Ossoff outspent Handel 6/7 to 1.



    Jon Ossoff spent six times more than Karen Handel but complains about 'money in politics'.....

    Down south in Georgia last night, a woman overcame the odds to win a seat in Congress and prove that money can't always buy elections. Unfortunately for Democrats, that underdog named Karen Handel is a Republican.

    Either Democrat Jon Ossoff wasn't paying attention or he's really bad at math though. Before the special election polls closed, the 30-year-old aspiring boy wonder went on NPR to complain about money in politics.

    "The role of money in politics is a major problem and particularly the role of unchecked anonymous money," Ossoff said. "There have been super PACs in Washington who have been putting up tens of millions of dollars of attack ads in air for months now."

    And then with just a day to go and apparently un-ironically, Ossoff offered up the most unaware statement of the entire race: "We need campaign finance reform."

    Simple arithmetic shows the stupidity of that sentiment. According to campaign finance documents compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Ossoff spent six times more money than Handel. His campaign raised more than $24 million to her $4.5 million.

    After watching their Ossoff donations go down the drain, many Democrats probably wish they could've just stuffed those dollars directly into the ballot box......snip~

    Typical Democrat.....blame somebody or something else for their failure. Of course going door to door talking about how great BO care is and how great immigration can be in a Republican district. Wasn't exactly the smart thing to do. As all it did was remind Republicans why they vote Republican in the first place.

    No one is suppressing the vote, but California did meddle in the Georgia election, by bankrolling your man's campaign.

    Did you ever stop to think that your man lost, because the DNC doesn't have a message that appeals to voters?

    Looks like Handel was only trying to suppress illegal voting. Good for her. America should be a nation of laws, not a nation of illegals and criminals.

    Aren't you the same person that wants to register guns, but not have voter ID?

    Straight from the playbook, excuse number 37 -- voter suppression. You might have used Hillary's excuse number 16, the hatred of women, but that would have been too obviously stupid.

    Trump won the 6th district by 1.5%.
    Handel won the 6th district by 3.8%.

    Trump has gone UP in the 6th LOL

    ...and maybe if Trump hadn't groped women, started a fake university, filed multiple bankruptcies and stiffed contractors he hired his ratings wouldn't be plunging down the toilet. But wait. That's right. He's the narcissist of all narcissists so his ratings will continue to fall. Trump zombies will forever worship the orange clown.

    So you are for illegal criminal votes?????????????? That would be quite usual for liberals. They are totally against voter ID that would prevent voter fraud. I think everyone knows why.

    I live in NYC so if Georgia wants such an inept person and boy she sure as hell is, they can have her. And to tell the truth, Ossoff does not seem be to be a real Progressive in any sense so I have no allegiance to this guy. Georgia? Not my problem. My interest and eyes are on what is coming down the pike for the top of the **** pile that resides in The White House.

    As I've said over and over.

    They can only cheat if it's close. Ossoff lost because not enough voters came out. The only way to beat these voter suppression efforts is to win BIG. That's how Obama won
