What's going on in Georgia? Clinton winning the early vote: 51% to 43%!

11/04/16 - Clinton is still winning the early vote: 51% to 43%, Clinton wins Metro Atlanta: 48% to Trump’s 43%, Clinton wins the <45 vote by roughly 10%, and the vote is split in Middle Georgia: 47% to 47% - Opinion Savvy


What more motivation do you need, Georgia. GOTFV!! Get your dem friends FIRED UP!


It's going to be close there. Question is, will Georgia return to the swing state she once was, putting Hillary over the top in 48 hours?

It would not surprise me a bit if many women who would usually vote for any (R) are lashing out against Trump and his arrogant supporters.

I think there is a hidden Clinton vote not only in Georgia but also in Arizona and North Carolina (and most everywhere else too).

They can't admit it in public, but these women will vote for her. If only as an act of defiance.

How could anyone accept a man who says such things about women? A man who has women from all over coming up and saying how he just groped them - just like he said he did in the audio?

It seems like a woman would have to have a low sense of esteem to be a fan of that man.

I'm not gonna put much stock in winning GA because of this, but it's better than the alternative news.

because it's not Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. but there is a huge Latino population here as anyone who lives in Atlanta can tell you.

without some sort of comparison I have no idea if this is good, bad or average.

I know don't what that translates to for the actual voter demographics. Whites probably make up for the the electorate. Still on paper it looks like it could be favorable to Clinton.

reugs are talking the talk but they can't walk the walk. They know they have a very seriously flawed candidate and many will vote for Hill or not vote at all. When this election is over I predict that they all turn on sniffles, calling him a Democratic plant!
