Emerald Robinson: Something Stinks In Georgia

The GOP primary numbers are funny because the votes were rigged

Trump’s endorsement basically won the race for JD Vance in Ohio, and for Ted Budd in North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, his endorsement did the same thing for Doug Mastriano in the governor’s race. This has happened again and again in 2022. Remember, Trump’s record is 92-7.
That’s what makes the primary results in Georgia last night so curious and so suspect.
Georgia is the only state where President Trump’s endorsements did not count.
quote:
President Trump had endorsed quite a few candidates in Georgia, including David Perdue in the gubernatorial race with Brian Kemp, and Jody Hice in the race for Secretary of State against Brad Raffensperger. His endorsements were decisive in almost every political race in America this year. So why was Georgia such an outlier?
Sure, Georgia is an open primary state — Democrats are allowed to vote in the GOP primaries there — but that’s not the real story. Look at the RCP polling average: Brian Kemp was getting 52% of the votes and his main challenger, David Perdue, was getting 38% of the votes just before the race.
On Primary Day in Georgia, Kemp gets 74% and Perdue gets 22%. Nobody in any election in America gets 74% of the votes. Ever. It doesn’t happen.
Obvious fraud.
quote:
Brian Kemp’s funny numbers are not the only funny numbers in the Georgia primaries either. In the race for insurance commissioner, Trump-endorsed candidate Patrick Witt lost to a nobody named John King — and John King got 70% of the votes!
Now take a look at Patrick Witt’s numbers county by county: he got the same percentage of votes in 122 out of 159 counties in Georgia.
Let me repeat: the same percentage. Patrick Witt gets the same percentage in deep blue counties as he gets in deep red counties. Uniform numbers.
40

Kemp had almost 4X the amount of votes in 2022 than he did in 2018
Ratfricker had almost 3X the amount of votes in 2022 than he did in 2018
Tell me there is no frickery going on.

This was nothing but fine tuning for this November.

I guess this is the new thing in our country when it comes to elections. If the person you voted for doesn’t win, it must be because the other side cheated.

Stacie Abrams and all the black churches sent out the message for their congregation to go vote for Kemp and Raffensperger in the GOP primary. GA has an open primary system.
Stacie wanted to make sure Kemp is her opponent in the general election.
Stacie ran unopposed. She is the Democrat nominee.
This was well known prior to the primary that the Dems would stack the vote in Kemp and Raffensperger favor. They know GOP voters are demoralized by Kemp and Raffensperger and a large percentage will stay home for the general election and Stacie will be the next GA governor beating Kemp, probably pretty easily.
Congratulations GA.

I think most reasonable, honest people recognize there’s a huge problem. It’s certainly been talked about plenty.
But recognition and talking about these things alone are sadly not enough.
Until/unless there are ever real consequences for people who engage in corruption there’s no reason to expect it to stop.
That’s not trying to be negative or “giving up” but that’s just the flat out reality facing us all at this point.

I said it was rigged the other day.
They spent all their energy on Kemp just to stick it to Trump.
It will never be proven but I have no doubts they were up to monkey business.
The news of this caused all kinds of people to tell Trump to move on from election fraud-they claim this is why Kemp won because Trump is a sore loser in 2020- It caused the GOPe to take a victory lap using this to get rid of Trump.

This happens all the time in primaries. Especially for incumbents. Embarrassing article.

Except that makes zero sense. Kemp has much more favorable polling numbers against Abrams than Perdue did. Why would Dems want to put in the stronger opponent? Kemp is extremely popular in GA.

Or the OP is just pointing out actual statistics that are well outside the error's of margin.
But understanding math and numbers can be difficult for some...

Well that is simply and categorically false.

The GOPe probably high fived her and paid her.

Anyone who has spent any time in Georgia during this cycle would not think the results are particularly surprising. Perdue did nothing, had no presence, and nobody asked him to make this challenge. People don't hate Perdue, they just saw no need for his candidacy and there was absolutely zero buzz in quarters where Perdue was popular 2 years ago.
Kemp greatly over performed Raff, which is what we all expected. There is a big contingent that blames Brad for grandstanding and being a smarmy loser but doesn't blame Kemp for how the election shook out (or if they do, they're not very focused on it). I'm a little surprised we didn't get to a runoff for SOS, and I don't think the Erick Erickson "this shows GA voters want to move on" is quite right. I think it shows that a big swath of Trump-loyal GA voters were never as tuned into the election stuff as Twitter/etc. would think. Which tracks generally with the reality that even team-Trump/Red republicans are by and large consumed with other things besides politics.

Perdue ran the saddest fricking campaign. That campaign was tragic.
There should be a monument built to that campaign, complete with a reflecting pool, where people can go and sit and just think “man, that was really fricking sad.”

What math and numbers are incorrect then?

It was an interesting calculation by Trump
I highly suspect the idea was that it was too risky to hand this to Vernon or someone like that, but he still wanted his revenge on Kemp, so he'd go get a more polished, trustworthy inoffensive guy and Trump's promotion of Perdue would be the difference.
I honestly think it helped Georgia avoid a bloodier primary (and Perdue would have been a more viable GE candidate had he won), and I don't think Trump's gamble was a bad one. I just think he underestimated Georgia's fondness for Kemp in an era of bad governance all over the country.
