    Well now, insert "shocked face" gif... gun totin' trump candidate representing republicans in the Georgia senate race...

    House Republican leaders condemn GOP candidate who made racist videos
    The candidate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, finished first in last week's primary for an open, safe GOP seat in Georgia but still faces an August runoff for the nomination.

    Those views aren't that rare in Republican circles.

    The GOP definitely seems nervous about Congress. Consider how many turned on Rep. Steve King.. For good reason too as it looks like it will be very hard to recapture the House and losing the Senate is very possible. If the election where held tomorrow most likely Dems take all of Congress and the Presidency.

    Georgia retrumplicans have again acted to suppress voters... if you recall, Georgia 2018 elections were tainted and then GA secretary of state brian kemp was accused of voter suppression in his race versus Stacy Abrams for governor:


    Georgia measure would stop officials mailing ballot requests

    First of all, the three were caught. Second, its not even clear from the reporting how many if any votes were involved. Three? 30? From the reporting, the three that were arrested and charged didn't identify themselves as required as a "bearer" authorized to pick up the votes. This doesn't seem the biggest "voter fraud" scheme.

    Based on this I'd be very hard pressed to think mail in voting, used throughout the country and in many states; and how most of trump's family and staff vote, including trump himself, is a risk.

    Do you have any data proving widespread fraud in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Hawaii or Colorado? These are states that have held their elections via mail for over a decade. Have their local and state governments been illegitimate this entire time?

    If mail in voting is so susceptible to fraud then all the members of the Administration including the press secretary, VP, and Trump himself should be required to vote in person instead of mail in ballots as they have been doing.

    This proves the signature matching requirement is the key to preventing fraud. Seems like it worked beautifully to not only disqualify ballots but help catch the folks who attempted fraud.

    It's unfortunate these people didn't get to vote though.
