What was on the ballot to incentivize republicans to vote?

No governor race. Trump is unopposed.

Just returned from voting at my station at Antioch Baptist Church here on the Westside in Atlanta. Lines. Long, long lines. I live in a young, hipster urban location.

My parents and two of my sisters all live in Cobb County, in a much more conservative area. It is less populated than my area but still very large in number of people. All of them said they were the only ones in the station. No one else was there. No one.
What was on the ballots?

What election is today?

If this is the presidential primary, there isn’t even a GOP one on the Georgia ballot this year IIRC.


General primary (including presidential), so a lot more Dem offices up for grabs, especially a contentious Dem Senate primary. OP's voting station is in a very Dem area (that was where I voted when I lived in Atlantic Station in ATL).

When the shite is flying, leftists vote while conservatives just wanna get away.

GOP and dimocratix primaries, so the ballots were party specific. I still dont quite understand why, but Collins vs Loefler was not on there. Buncha (non-partisan) judgeships....most of them unopposed. The GOP ballot had 3 party questions.

Collins and Loeffler are part of a special election. They will both be on the general election ballot in Nov along with the Dems it’s a jungle election for that seat. I anticipate the Dem field to reduce because they have 4 candidates running.

Either way it’s Collins to lose as of today.

I early voted last week in my precinct in Buckhead. Not that many voters.

It’s a lot more contentious for the Dems who are voting on Senate candidate, judges and house members to unseat GOP.

I agree. If both were on the ballot today Collin would’ve won based on the polls and Loeffler most recent stock issue.

I'm more MAGA than Trump, more conservative than anyone here. This ain't 2016

Things are not looking good at all. His leadership through all these riots has been ineffectual. I'm not talking about polls, it's the general anecdotal feeling I'm getting from everyone else I know, who were mild-Trump-supporters. Trump is not the Strong-Man we need, he is letting Kushner and Ivanka, and other bad actors run things, and it's bad. People might not turn against him, but they won't be motivated to get out and vote for him.

Can he turn things around, sure, but so far he hasn't.

Georgia is open primary so I chose a democrat ballot.

Voted for Crazy Bernie for Prez.

Georgia Senate Primary with about 9 candidates, 3 of whom have a chance of winning: Jon Ossof, Teresa Tomlinson, and Sarah Riggs Amico. Tomlinson is the strongest, most sane, more centrist choice so I voted for Amico who is an angry snarled face leftist. There is no such thing as a centrist democrat once he or she is elected so the goal is to pick the least attractive kook for Perdue.

About 9 party platform questions, all of which I voted against in an effort to stop the lurch to the left. They were all worded deceitfully, such as: “Should the State of Georgia rely upon proven science to make policy and laws to stop climate change in order to preserve the environment, resources, and lessen pollution so that children may live longer, healthier lives?”

A lot of county commission, state legislators, public service commission, superior court judgeships, Supreme Court judgeships that appear on both republican and democrat ballots.

Trump was on the Republican ballot today. There is an open congressional seat in my district and a Senate slot, though Perdue is running again and was unopposed. There were a number of other slots open too.

Probably the most contentious election was on the Democrat side, to determine who will face Perdue. It will be interesting to see how Ossoft does. He true to run for congressman by hiding his party, but once revealed, his support plummeted -- our version of Beto.
