239,822 African American voters over the age of 65 have already voted in Georgia. That's 124% of the total 2016 turnout for African American seniors.

More Latino voters have already voted in Georgia (106,292) than voted in the entire 2016 election in the state (96,465).

Meanwhile, white non-college educated voters in Georgia lag behind their 2016 total vote by 439,513 votes.


I’m sure all those over 65 African American votes were filled out by the owner.

That doesn't sound like voter suppression to me

Wouldn't that be the demographic that can remember TRUE voter suppression?

It's a little scary in that it seemed strange to me how long the networks held up the Georgia call in 2016. Trump won it fairly easily yet it was called very late (and very quietly) in the night.

All the people we've been trusting on this board though say not to worry about GA.

Also - if GA somehow did flip b/c of unprecedented older AA turnout it still wouldn't be a deathknell so long as Trump wins 2 out of the Upper Midwest 4 (PA, MI, WI, MN).

It really doesn't make sense though - we took and survived their best shot with an AA woman heading up their ticket in a strong blue election with no Trump on the ballot in 2018 and survived. I can't imagine losing with Trump at the top of the ticket.

Also we fended off a challenge in 2016/17 with a bad candidate (Handel) over a good candidate (Ossoff) in the immediate aftermath of the REEEEEEEEsist rage right in the EXACT area of suburban women that we were supposed to get slaughtered with.

So they weren’t motivated enough to get out and vote for a black woman for Governor but they were for this election?

One of two things going on here:
1. Massive fraud
2. The difference in those voting in 2016 and this time is the number voting for Trump.

#1 is way more likely.

There are saying this because they don't want to admit Trump will get unprecedented amounts of Black and Hispanic votes. Just watch.

Maybe were overthinking this a bit? Could it be as simple as white non college educated voters are the demographic lost likely to
Vote on Election Day?

Yet, I believe Republicans are still leading in early voting in GA.

So when the Republicans vote on election day there will be a red wave in GA.

This board says Georgia is safe, right?

Lose Georgia and we have to have Michigan to offset and still win Wisconsin or Minny or Penn.

239K blacks over 65? You know they have been lied to and promised so many things by Dems over the last 50 years that they are probably ready to support someone that has actually done some things for the black community.

Guys,


I’ve been traveling to GA for work for 10 years. I was in ATL metro in 16 and there weren’t near the number of Hillary signs than there are of Biden signs. Even Wealthy suburbs like Druid Hills were loaded with Biden signs.


I’m not making a prediction that GA turn Blue. I’m just telling you Biden will get more votes than HRC did in 16
