It’s runoff day! Finally! We made it! If you are reading this site and haven’t voted yet, or aren’t sure where to vote, first please leave a note in the comments to let us know how you found this little corner of the #gapol-iverse. Then, get yourself to the My Voter Page so you can learn where you need to go vote in the Senate runoff, or to check the status of your (safe! secure!) absentee ballot.
I am writing this around 8 PM on Monday evening, but I am gonna go out on a limb and project two things:
- The Call is still the lead news story in the United States.
- The rally in Dalton was pretty much a regurgitation of most of the president’s rantings and soliloquies from The Call.
Meanwhile:
- So many rallies on Monday! Including one in Atlanta with President-Elect Biden, and another in Dalton with President Trump.
- U.S. Attorney and former State Representative BJ Pak abruptly resigned on Monday.
- Black voter engagement is critical to a win for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in today’s runoff.
- An excellent overview of why Georgia’s runoff elections are they way they are (as with so many of Georgia’s political quirks, it stems in part from the county unit system).
- How can we approach healthcare workers and assisted living staffers who are hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine?
- The stern of the Golden Ray was removed yesterday!
- For one shining moment this past weekend, #gapol Twitter was united in its support for UGA professor and living Georgia politics encyclopedia Charles Bullock after he received an egregiously low 1/10 rating from RoomRater.
