Georgia Senate Runoffs.
« on: Sun, 08 November 2020, 21:29:06 »
VERY BIG DEAL.

The Senate Race <this year>. is as important as the Presidency

Currently, the Repooplicans is likely to control the senate, WHICH they will use to BLOCK Stimulus , Healthcare , and other policies.

The 2 Dem-Candidates are

> Jon Ossoff
> Raphael Warnock


Voters should request an absentee ballot by NOVEMBER 18, 2020 (for those who voted absentee in the General Election, you will not automatically be sent another absentee ballot for the runoff if you don’t make a separate request for one. Your prior absentee ballot request for the General Election does not apply to the runoff).

The deadline to register to vote for the runoff is DECEMBER 7, 2020.

Early voting for the runoff will begin on DECEMBER 14, 2020.

Warnock was my choice, Perdue can go suck a **** - he sucked as a Governor and still does (no forward thinking at all).  Ossoff is suspect, many shady dealings have surfaced - not sure what all is true as I haven't taken the time to research.  But so far Warnock hasn't seemingly attempted to try and hide anything on who he is and what he's representing, along with his plans.

Not to mention both Georgia repooplican candidates are under investigation for insider trading, they were profiting while blocking stimulus and health care , letting EVERYONE DIE.

David Perdue is far down in the pit of Hell.

https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/perdue-proud-outsourcing-past-blames-washington-for-jobs-lost/K7QzOn0xM9xvxVSVBqGrpL/

TL;DR
“In the deposition, David Perdue explains, in his own words, that he would summarize his business experience as mostly spent outsourcing jobs overseas to places like China and Mexico,”

Ossoff is a documentary film maker. That does indicate inquisitiveness at the minimum.

You know that people like the Kochs and Mercers are freaking out realizing that this monster that they have spent 4 decades creating and nurturing is now out of their control and running amok.

As a foreigner I find it strange that one state should be singled out as so important for controlling the entire senate.  Is there only one 'run off' (this year?) and if so why?

Each state has 2 senators and terms are 6 years, staggered.

Georgia was due to elect one regular seat (hopefully replacing the horrid David Perdue) and, due to a bizarre fluke, the other seat also needs to be filled, due to it being currently filled by a temporary replacement appointed by the governor last year. Both elections last month were so close that runoffs were required.

Currently, the Senate has 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats. If Democrats can win both seats, the count is 50-50. In the case of a tie, the Vice President has the deciding vote, and that would be Harris. Unless Democrats win  not one but both  seats, control stays in Republican hands.

I see.  And all the senators will vote for whatever the party says they should regardless of what's good for their state?  Here many of the party in charge's representatives voted against their leaders Covid restrictions for example, meaning even a 52-46 split wouldn't guarantee anything (doesn't) go through.

Also who the hell is Harris, the temp?!

Kamala Harris is the Vice President Elect.

The Senators don't always follow, but in the current Political Turmoil, that is the case.

'Elect' being the operative word.  So if the people fail to show a preference in the November main election and this December runoff the VP gets to choose in January (if sooner it wouldn't be her)  This must be one of those things from the original constitution written in a time when a guy on a horse had to take a letter to the capital detailing the problem and that takes a month, then the VP replies because ... no, I can't think of any good reason for the president to delegate this simple decision :confused:

When Newt Gingrich took over as Speaker of the House in 1995, he instituted an absolute rule of party loyalty for Republicans.

In a closely divided, 2-party system, behavior like that by one party all but necessitates corresponding behavior from the other. Our political system quickly devolved into that miasma and has been stuck there ever since.
