NYT: Democrats urge Georgia voters to fix their absentee ballots before a Friday deadline.

With Georgia’s 16 electoral votes likely to be decided by a tiny margin, Democrats are urging voters there to fix absentee ballots that were rejected because of invalid or missing signatures before the deadline on Friday evening.

Those who voted absentee — a group that this year has been heavily Democratic — can check online to see whether election officials have accepted or rejected their ballots. Absentee ballots are often rejected when the voter forgets to sign or uses a signature that does not match the one on file with the state, possibly because it is many years old. Election officials are supposed to contact voters in such cases but are not always able to do so.

Voters have until 5 p.m. on Friday to submit a simple affidavit form to “cure” such ballots. With Georgia hanging in the balance as the last votes are counted, national Democrats — including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York — are amplifying the message in hopes of salvaging every vote possible.

4. Not saying it's not important

Just not many left, and that may not be an up to date number

6. Who are the "other Democrats"?

Do they have names?

Would be aporooriate to name those 'other Democrats' so they can be given credit.

Why'd they just name the DS?

Are the other Democrats so insignificant to the article they can't even be named for proper credit?

Kinda sucks NY Times. 🙄

We'd kind of like to know their names as well.
