(297,190 posts)behind the scenes in Georgia.. GOTV!
She really "avenged" herself against the current governor who was elected based on the voter suppression down there. That governor earlier this morning "stormed" from the podium when he was finished.... (Karma...gotta love it!!!)

(5,170 posts)she lost to loser Kemp by fraud and voter suppression, so she intimately knows the GA system.
She was a serious VP contender, but this is her defining moment.

(15,286 posts)my heroes are the Dems in heavily conservative/republican areas who normally have no hope of changing election results in their own area but came out or voted by mail to make their voices heard. Places where it's not easy to be a Democrat. This is what's winning for Dems in PA. Yes, Philadelphia and the surrounding SE make up the lion's share of Dem votes, but every Dem vote in the red, rural counties helped, too.

(33,515 posts)In 2016, there were only Trump signs there, and they were there still - along with Confederate flags - but I saw a lot of Biden signs as well, except in Stroudsburg, which a few weeks ago, seemed like a Trump temple.
It appears however, that Monroe County went for Biden.
It appears that Bethlehem, Allentown and Easton went for Biden, but the rest of Northhampton county didn't.
Bucks County, across the river from where I live, went for Biden as well.
The elections were close in all those areas however. Northhampton county flipped.

(56 posts)Now here's hoping she can work some more magic in the upcoming Georgia senate runoff elections in January. Let's keep our feet on the gas. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that make it 50/50 with the Dems back in control because of the Vice President tie breaker?

(58,648 posts)Looks like GA isn't necessary in the presidential run, but we still have a chance for the 2 GA senate seats.
She was instrumental in flipping GA, which is still counting votes, but Biden is leading.

(4 posts)Iowa used to reliably be a swing state, but no longer. The GOP has taken over. We lost a very good, young Representative in Abbie Finkenauer. Dave Loebsacks seat looks like its going to the GOP (although that race is

(1,402 posts)She is great........I have watched her many times on MSNBC - she is one sharp lady and I hope she will continue to fight for all of us. She's the one that should have ended up on Supreme Court rather than the one that DJT chose.
