    The funny thing is Osloff can't even vote for himself. One question during their debate that Osloff couldn't/wouldn't answer "who are you voting for?"

    They could verify it by using whatever information the person has on their driver license/ID. If they move they have to advise MVD of their new address/information, so there is no reason why they cannot merge that information in with the voter thumbprint/ID. I think its very feasible personally.

    Well it looks like I am right and you are wrong.

    Maybe I was right :)

    http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/19/the-race-for-georgias-6th-district-now-costs-more-than-50m/

    The majority of the 50 million looks to be spent by Ossoff the Democrat with a lot of that on ads that are probably hateful.

    So you are posting nonsense.

    Will be surprised if Big Jon can pull this out today.

    Looks like the GOP filth pulled out the "dog whistles" (as may man Thor likes to say) late with that disgraceful ad about the baseball field shooting.

    If nothing else, the filth knows how to manipulate their useful idiots.

    Should be enough to drag Handel's fat republican ass across the finish line first...

    One of these days Democratic donors will realize that the DNC is playing them for fools. Ever notice that Dems always lead in the polls right up to election day, then suddenly and with no observable trigger event the GOP closes the gap ? It has happened time and time again yet Democratic billionaire donors and low info supporters keep falling for polls with skewed samples.

    Tossing money to Dem candidates in this political climate is like tossing it into the toilet, Lotto tickets would yield a better profit

    Judging from national polls, most Americans have been unto Trump for quite some time, and have an especially dismal regard for the GOP-run Congress as well, but Democrats still need to earn back support, mostly from the less-educated White guys that the Party largely ignored as Trump vamped them with his lurid song of seduction.

    Winning back a seat that has been Republican for the past several decades with a fresh young candidate vs a tired Republican pol would be nice but, given the media hype and the money, it's become far more show business than reliable political bellwether.

    Between Trump's sordid antics and MeConnell's contriving to inflict a secret version of Ryan's stinker of a health plan on the nation, Democrats should have an advantage in '18, but they still need to clean up their act and again champion the little guy.

    That has nothing to do with losing voter registrations forms by election officials on purpose.

    "Karen Handel has won the election, according to A.P."

    Too bad.

    I thought the mistakes of 2016 would have been burned into everyones memory. Polls cannot be relied upon. Money won't buy you an election. Ossoffs bankroll helped tighten the race, but I tend to believe his elitist donors increased GOP voter turnout. Voters are looking for authenticity, not celebrity endorsements.

    The rank and file are always the last to realize they have been hosed by their own leaders.

    “As I have written in the past, one of the primary drivers of this behavior is simple. In a corporate media environment where ratings are prized above all else, the reality is that sensationalism and scandal play better — and, therefore, pay better — than substance. CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker recently admitted as much, saying, “2016 was the best year in the history of cable news, and 2017 is going to be even better. There is no evidence that the interest in [Trump] is waning in any way.” Zucker’s comment echoed CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves, who said last year that Trump’s political ascent was “damn good for CBS” and bragged that “the money’s rolling in.” THE WASHINGTON POST, On Trump, the media’s malpractice continues, By Katrina vanden Heuvel,Y 6/20/17.
