#runoff elections

[fangirlofall]

Y’all IK we won the senate and it’s definitely important to celebrate, but if you’re in Georgia please, please, please vote in the runoff on December 6.

If we can get 51 instead of an exact tie it will give us a little wiggle room. For the past two years, a lot of the improvements Biden has attempted to make haven’t made it passed the Senate because one or two Democrats voted no and that was all it took; if we can get Georgia too, one Democrat can vote no and the legislation will still pass. The more seats we have the better chance we have for serious, meaningful change.

Please vote December 6th.

Please do not let this fool get elected, Georgia

[absedarian]

I'm in Georgia and if any of my fellow Georgians are going to do early voting, please, please, please, check the polling station dates and times on your Georgia My Voter page. They keep changing things and you don't want to take off work and then find out that early voting was closed that day or closed early or whatever and you won't get to vote because your boss or bosses won't let you take off again so soon. We need every vote we can get!

I’m not in Georgia, so this is added information to the voting post. Please go vote in the runoff election on 12/6.

It was back and forth for most of the night, but Warnock is the projected winner!

"Since the last time I was here, Mr. [Herschel] Walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia. Like whether it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf. This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself. When I was seven. Then I grew up. In case you’re wondering, by the way, Mr. Walker decided he wanted to be a werewolf -- which is great! As far as I’m concerned he can be anything he wants to be, except for a United States Senator. This would be funny if he weren’t running for Senate.” 

-- Former President Barack Obama, on Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, while campaigning on behalf of Rev. Raphael Warnock for Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff election.

President Obama might be showing up frequently in Georgia as a surrogate for Reverend Warnock just because he’s having so much fun eviscerating Herschel Walker.

i am so sorry but now is actually the appropriate time for the party in the house, senate, and white house that has claimed to stand for the right to have AND access abortion to wield that power and pass a law codifying roe - and do whatever it takes to do that. when they are not doing that, it calls that commitment into question. and it can demoralize people in an election year. obviously, everyone needs to show up because we are all we got. that means using every tool available, including voting (and it is ridiculous and irresponsible to suggest throwing in the towel is going to help anybody). but to organize a dispossessed people, and women are among the most dispossessed in the world, we have to be clear eyed about their actual material realities and how that affects their perspectives on politics

Latest GOP bullshit update!

Because the GOP believes in nothing like they believe in voter suppression, the only Saturday that would have been within the early voting period for the Georgia runoff is now unavailable because of a. a law Georgia Republicans rammed through last year to cut runoff election periods in half and b. a ludicrous rule related to Georgia state holidays. That means that the early voting period is now limited only to Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, which--per GOP standard bullshit--of course makes things difficult for everyone, but especially for the groups most likely to vote Democrat.

So it is super important that if you live in Georgia and can vote, you do so--and check your options/available days now. Confirm your voting status, check and double-check your voting place and the available hours, and start planning now if you might need to vote early or if you can go on Election Day. Below is a link on voting rights in Georgia re: getting time off from work to vote.

Losing the Georgia seat could cost the GOP the ability to deadlock progress there, so they are going to disenfranchise as many people and throw up as many extra barriers to voting as they can, because they know that’s the only way they can win. Spread the word so that anyone who was counting on a non-weekday voting day has enough advance notice to make new plans.

It's Halloween for the rest of the (western) world but here in Brazil what is really scary is that the current president is attempting a coup, preventing the big opposition electoral college from its right to vote through a police operation

Mind sending some positivity towards Chicago? We have our mayoral runoff tomorrow and the choices are a pretty cool progressive and a guy who calls himself a "lifelong democrat"...despite hanging out with conservatives, taking GOP money, saying "im probably more of a republican now", and that time he actually registered as a republican.

Ah yes, the Democrat and the "lifelong Democrat" who is actually a Republican, marketing himself as such in a cynical attempt to get elected in deep-blue Chicago. Let us cross our fingers.
