    Exactly, we elect the President by a completely irrational method. A Republican won't be able to win in this race because this election makes sense

    Imagine that... Voters are required to have a photo ID to be able to vote in Georgia. Too much to ask in the 21st century?

    That segment has nothing to do with ID. It's about losing voter registration forms, where students and minorities registered to vote, and the election officials claimed they didn't have those forms.

    Then after that they were harassed by the GBI. What was the charge? There were no charges. Instead, those 40,000 eligible voters lost their right to vote for no legal reason, and it had nothing whatsoever to do with ID, and everything to do with cheating to favor Handel. It's an illegally rigged election just like Trump.

    Anymore brilliant random thoughts about that you want to share?

    Provisional ballots are thrown in the trash. Everyone knows that now.

    They should be able to register. There is no excuse, and they shouldn't have lost 40,000 registrations on purpose. It's cheating and it is illegal what these folks are doing.

    Cross check is also illegal because of how it has been corrupted.

    Do you watch anything but MSNBC? That would explain the lack of facts in your posts.

    Oh, and how did voter registration forms found in 2014 affect this years election?

    There have been cases investigated and those caught for participating in voter fraud have mostly been Democrats.

    This is just one example: https://parkercountyblog.com/2011/11/26/12467/

    This particular election has been extensively watched over by specialists from the Carter Center in Atlanta who are involved with verifying election integrity all over the world.

    Stop making lame excuses to cover for the rejection of your Progressive PC policies.

    Most reports from known Fake News sources are presumed to be Fake News until proved otherwise. There are exceptions, but not many.
    The sources you tend to cite are notorious for their Fake News reports.

    Only when you prove these sources are fake news can you intelligently debate the subject. Beyond that, you simply are saying nothing at all.

    Actually, until you prove the source is wrong, you yourself will find yourself totally paralyzed in debating this topic with any intelligent rebuttal.

    Attacking the source and the messenger, so far has gotten you a big fat zero in advancing your own side of the argument.

    By the way, do you even have a counter argument? Of course not, because no source exists from where you can mount that counter rebuttal.

    Illegal voter suppression gave Trump his cheating win. I see nothing different here with the Ga. sixth district election.

    And don't forget, I'm still waiting on the proof about the fake news?

    Vox.com is notoriously unreliable. Surely you know that by now.

    “I am, of course, talking about Vox, the hot new venture of liberal wonkblogger extraordinaire Ezra Klein. It was already a bad sign that his starting lineup was mostly made up of ideological liberals. And a couple months in, it's clear that much of what passes for "explanation" on Vox is really partisan commentary in question-and-answer disguise.” THE WEEK, Vox, derp, and the intellectual stagnation of the left,Vox, derp, and the intellectual stagnation of the left, By Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry,June 26, 2014.

    It is a Fake News source, but it does occasionally tell the truth. It is always a surprise when vox.com gets anything right.

    Another conclusion without any supporting evidence. Did you run out of Fake News sources? ;-)

    Provisional ballots are only thrown in the trash when one or the other candidates can't possibly win. Here's a thought, tell your friends to compel your state legislature to put voter registration in when people go to the DMV. The DMV is a govt office and we know how much the leftnist loves govt.

    Some other polls have come in, I have massive amounts of work today, but tonight my time, I will post the last composites. Today is the day and an *almost* record number of early votes have been cast in this CD. So, now all we can and should do is let our fellow Americans vote and make their choice. It's really that simple.

    But I will repeat again: Tom Price won his last race here by +23.1 points. Even a tie here would mean that the electorate in GA-06 has shifted by roughly 23 points. And Trump barely won this CD, one that Romney easily landslided in. So, regardless of your political leanings, the MATH says that the political sands in Georgia are shifting, and in indeed they are. Bush 43 took the state by +16.6 points, in 2004, McCain by +5.2 points in 2008, Romney by +7.8 points in 2012 and Trump won it by +5.1 points in 2016, so in spite of the national margin moving 1.77 points to the Right from 2012 to 2016, the margin in Georgia moved 2.7 points to the Left in the same time-frame. The MATH does not lie. Once the vote totals are entered into the Congressional Record, they are sealed in stone and the stats are there for everyone to see. It's really very simple math.

    I advise agaisnt using this race as a barometer. Handel is not well liked and hasn't really tried all that hard to win until polls starting showing Ossoff in the lead. All that time, out of state dems have been flooding the airwaves with Ossoff ads and it's been effective.

    This post took a lot of energy and focus. Just wanted to acknowledge your effort and thank you for such an informative post. After watching the polls favor Hillary in November and May in the U.K. earlier this month, I've become rather uncomfortable with polls in general. Statistically the polls can be incredibly accurate, but accuracy depends on honesty on the part of those being polled. It appears a growing minority in both countries are willing to offer dishonest responses to pollsters.

    Question, are these 'lost' registrations for this election today?

    Do away with photo ID in order to vote and instead go with the person's thumbprint instead. Very tough to do fraud using that system and it'll save money in the long run as well.

    Of course not.

    This election is being watched as closely as any race has been in recent years.

    The local polling is highly suspect.

    No way to verify where a person lives if they have no ID.

    I'm quite sure that there will be a few voters who will stray in today and claim that they just moved into the district.
    The registration forms, needed to be eligible for this election, had to have been turned in by May 22nd.

    The district has changed some in recent years.

    Mercedes Benz moved their national headquarters into the district and State Farm moved a large portion of their operations into the district as well. They fled from Blue state taxation and regulation.

    The dimwit Democrats who moved to Georgia apparently aren't smart enough to realize that their companies moved to Georgia to get away from incompetent Democratic governance in the Blue states where they came from in the first place.

    The Ossoff ads are apparently trying to position him as a, "stop government waste," moderate. Total BS... Georgia has experienced a recent trend to dispatch blue dog Democrats.

    This is such a joke. Republican spend just as much as democrats. ANd they also love to cheat with voter suppression and gerrymandering to greater extents than democrats.

    It's so sad how blind partisan hackery makes people if you really believe this nonsense. Trump was unique in that he got free press (you know, from the stupid "fake media' right wing idiots love to rant on about) because he continually did and said stupid things. And the idiot right elected the POS
