DCCC already running ads against Karen Handle in GA 6th race.

One just aired during the "Ellen" show here in Atlanta.

Paid for Lexus SUV with tax payer money
$15,000 for chairs

Same ad ran on cbs local news. Glad DCCC is spending money on it.

I have refrained from giving them money for awhile. I think I will give my usual modest amount now.

We have a good candidate running in my district, so I need to save most of my contributions to use at home.

Provisional ballots in Georgia are not counted at all unless there are enough provisionals to alter the outcome of the race.

There might not be enough Provisional Ballots to meet that threshold.
