And here goes Steve Kelley, joining the Trump bandwagon as it careens around the bend and goes over the edge of the cliff.
We knew the Trumpsters refused to accept science; now we see they refuse to accept math.
When ALL major news media call the election, those are NOT OFFICIAL results, but they are FACTUAL.
In every state, they count the votes in a transparent process. There are both Republican and Democratic observers on every ballot handled manually, the process is very open, and the results are tabulated by election officials and released little by little as the counting proceeds.
Only when there are no longer enough uncounted votes remaining to change the outcome do the networks announce that it is no longer mathematically possible for the losing candidate to catch up and they call the outcome.
The crowd watches as the ball sails over the center field fence. The umpire has not called the home run yet, but everyone in the stadium knows the score. Every state will submit CERTIFIED OFFICIAL vote totals on or before December 8 (most state deadlines are November 20; December 8 is the final due date to ensure their electoral votes are included). By that time, we will know the OFFICIAL totals of electoral votes earned. Then The Electoral College will vote on December 14, and the final OFFICIAL totals of electoral votes actually awarded (accounting for the occasional “faithless” elector in states that still allow them) and we will know the FINAL OFFICIAL TOTAL of electoral votes actually awarded. It is mathematically impossible that the UNOFFICIAL BUT FACTUAL outcome now known will change.
The Republicans in Congress know this.
Steve Kelley knows this.
Even Donald Trump knows this, which is why he has been publicly silent for more than a week.
“ATLANTA, GA – Attorney General Chris Carr is providing the following information to educate voters about their rights and responsibilities under Georgia law. Based on federal law governing elections with federal candidates, Georgia voters have until December 7, 2020, to register to vote for the January 5, 2021, runoff. The qualifications to be a registered voter in Georgia are set out in Section I of Article II of the Georgia Constitution and in O.C.G.A. § 21‑2‑216. The rules for county registrars to determine whether an applicant is a resident of the State of Georgia and the county where registration is sought are set forth at O.C.G.A. § 21‑2‑217.
Georgia law provides that it is a felony to either register to vote knowing one does not possess the qualifications for voting in Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 21‑2‑561) or to attempt to vote knowing one does not possess the qualifications for voting in Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 21‑2‑571). Those who are found to be in violation could subject themselves to prosecution."
So, to vote ion the runoff, you need to be a resident, and to be a resident, you have to live there or have a regular address for 183 days.
Stacey Abrams is the reason to flip the Senate. The other one is that both incumbents have disgraced themselves. One continually denied Covid, the other profited off Covid. Biden won Georgia, so why not the two Senate seats? This time there won’t be voter suppression, and Drumpf isn’t on the ticket.
Only in Trumpworld is there an organized Democratic movement to move its people so they can change the vote in specific areas – Trumpers must think that Democrats can see the future by knowing GA would be a 2020 swing state… although if they were so good at seeing the future they would have done this in more states than GA. Nope, it’s just sore losers trying to pin blame on anything other than their own failed policies.
If Dems had gamed the system McConnell would be out.
Kelly casting doubt on the American election, Putin will use it for propaganda against America.
The dirt bag republicans limited the vote, suppressed the vote, how many hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots were in the Post Office after the election? Republicans sabotaged the post office, told lies constantly, limited voting places.
We are having a covid spike now because of the difficulty many people had in voting and had to wait in line for hours. Republicans spread covid everywhere.
Vicious republicans are power mad, Kelly blames the American people for trying to vote out the evil and deadly Republicans.
Is Kelley a “true believer” or is he just writing for the Post Gazette’s readership? Either way, he’s violating the Comics Code Of Ethics which begins with “Don’t be stupid if there’s a possibility that a reader may believe you’re being serious” Violators are subject to fines and the confiscation of their art supplies.
Trump is creating confusion and fear of the election results so that he can say that there is confusion and fear regarding the results of the election. That will be enough to create that confusion and fear in the mind of the MAGAts, and they will continue to believe that the election was suspicious for the rest of their lives. They aren’t very smart.
The following video shows how the Republicans (soon to be Trumpublicans) spoke about the outcome of the election of 2016, and the response to the election of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Andrew Yang said that he and his wife were going to GA to work with activists to encourage voting for the two Dem senators. It is easy to imagine voter apathy being an issue considering the drop off in numbers in midterm elections, and a runoff election would potentially be even worse especially after THIS contentious election. Yang did not make any statements or tweets saying that he was going to VOTE, he talks about getting involved, especially with local community organizers.
What Thomas Friedman said was stupid. He is a writer and doesn’t represent “the left” or the Dems.
The BS notion that one comment from a writer should represent the Democratic party is typical Repub nonsense. And Yang’s statements have been completely twisted.
This comic is about New York Times columnist Tom Friedman telling CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Monday that he hopes “everybody moves to Georgia in the next month or two and registers to vote and votes for these two Democratic senators.” Except this is completely against the law unless you intend on actually staying. It was probably a mistake due to ignorance.

Yeah, the Dems beat Trump by gaming the election system. They nefariously convinced voters that kicking Trump out would be good for the country.

“You are considered a Georgia resident for tax purposes if:

You have been living in Georgia for 183 days (or part days) in the last year"

So, to vote ion the runoff, you need to be a resident, and to be a resident, you have to live there or have a regular address for 183 days.
Number of days until the runoff? Less than 60.
Oh, too bad, it’s still debunked.
