Voting is surging in Georgia despite controversial new election law

Tuesday’s primary is the first big test of new election legislation, which was opposed by voting-rights groups and Democrats.

GRIFFIN, Ga. — When the Spalding County Board of Elections eliminated early voting on Sundays, Democrats blamed a new state law and accused the Republican-controlled board of intentionally thwarting “Souls to the Polls,” a get-out-the-vote program among Black churches to urge their congregations to cast ballots after religious services.

But after three weeks of early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary, record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting. By the end of Friday, the final day of early in-person voting, nearly 800,000 Georgians had cast ballots — more than three times the number in 2018, and higher even than in 2020, a presidential year.

Voting-rights groups and Democrats say they have changed their strategies to mobilize voters under the new rules [....] 

Now let's see what happens - liberal Dems shouldn't bet the house on high turnout benefitting them, either

Pro-gun-rights Conservatives are at their wit's end trying to spin the Uvalde shooting as the result of some Woke lefty. Check out this Twitter trendin link it's not just Candace but others like Gosar and MTG and their MAGA-type followers

Photos referenced by conservative commentator Candace Owens in a recent Tweet are of a transgender individual falsely identified as the mass shooter in Uvalde, Texas

The goal is not so much to safeguard gun rights as it is to paint Woke as dividers not uniters. Which of course, mho, they mostly are, just not for that reason! They know that Woke are unpopular, and use that whenever possible and even sometimes when not possible, like here, because that can get them some more swingy types who hate Woke on their side.

Guess what the polls say?

Kevin McCarthy’s coverup for Trump just got much more alarming

By Greg Sargent Columnist @ WashingtonPost.com, May 27, 2022 at 12:15 p.m. EDT

Let’s stipulate this upfront: A top lawmaker who is actively working to scuttle a full accounting into a violent insurrection has no business playing a potentially decisive role in the process by which the next presidential election is brought to its official conclusion.

Yet it’s becoming more likely that this is exactly what will happen.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is now signaling he won’t comply with a subpoena issued by the House select committee examining Donald Trump’s effort to overturn his presidential reelection loss. The California Republican will be joined in this defiance by other colleagues who played important roles in the attempted subversion.

The same Kevin McCarthy very well may be House speaker in 2024. If Congress doesn’t revise the antiquated process that governs how Congress counts presidential electors, he could play a critical role influencing which electors get tallied, potentially swinging the outcome.

McCarthy signaled in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Thursday that he and other Republicans will likely refuse cooperation with the Jan. 6 committee. This comes after CNN reported that two of those Republicans are objecting to the committee’s subpoena.

McCarthy’s case against the committee’s subpoena is pure nonsense. Along with co-author Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who has also been subpoenaed, McCarthy insists in the op-ed that the subpoenaing is a “dangerous abuse of power" that "serves no legitimate legislative purpose.”

The idea that the subpoena serves no legislative end is demonstrably false [....]

The message? The isolationist party? The peacenik party? The draft dodging party?

don't bother to mention that Liz Cheney is not Dick Cheney, that would be logical....

in this poll, abortion is not as game changing of an an issue as I might have surmised. I.E., being anti-abortion might not be a disqualifier to Republicans. Though it's true it might get out the Democratic vote that might otherwise stay home

even Trump wouldn't try this one (though MTG might); obviously some Missouri districts are quite special:
