Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[Rookie Yinzer]

Is AM Joy live from Atlanta? Damn. I should have recorded it.

It is, and the interview with the Kemp supporter was in Peachtree Corners (Gwinnett County bordering Fulton).

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

Did anyone see the interview with a Kemp supporter on MSNBC just now? It was ridiculous.

Nope.  Details?

It was a middle aged White lady. She was being interviewed by Katy Tur.

Katy asked her if she was concerned about voter suppression and the fact that 70% of the people targeted were Black. She said that she didn't believe that Kemp was targeting anyone. She also said that if the 70% number is true then maybe it's because "Black people can't follow instructions".

Katy then asked her about how she feels about celebrities like Oprah coming to Georgia to campaign for Stacey. She said that Oprah is "from Chicago" (Oprah is from Mississippi just like Stacey Abrams) and that Oprah should instead focus on the problems in Chicago.

It was unbelievable.

Reminds me of “the Blacks all live on one street in Chicago and they all kill each other.”

Oprah owns a house in Atlanta too. I think she got her start in the media market too

[GeorgiaModerate]

Abrams, Oprah targeted by racist robocall funded by white supremacist group

Same group that did the racist robocall against Gillum in Florida.

[Suburbia]

Neither Kemp or Abrams are good candidates, but some people may hold their nose and vote for Abrams.

I'm sure some apathetic black voters are probably being bullied and coerced to vote for Abrams, assuming every black person is a Democrat.

Abrams will win 90%-98% of the black vote, she will receive 20% of the white vote or less, but Latino voters look like a tossup.

They don't need to be bullied or "coerced" into voting that way. They vote like that in almost every election.

What exactly is the point of your post? To point out that AAs vote as a bloc, something everyone already knows because its been happening for generations?

[ON Progressive]

This might be the stupidest thing I have seen posted today. If she isn't even getting 20% of the white vote and is only tied with Latinos, she would be losing by double digits.

What makes you more qualified to even comment on this race, considering that you're brazenly contradicting those of us who have been actively canvassing and phonebanking for months and have seen the unprecedented excitement firsthand?

I can't even remember how many white people I've talked to have admitted this was "the first time in their lives" they weren't voting Republican (or, for older folks, "the first time since the Good Old Days^TM")

[Suburbia]

Yes, I know most AAs vote as a bloc, but not all black Americans are monolithic.

Kemp however has been hostile to black votes, but the black pastors could still be swayed.

Black pastors are going to be swayed to vote for the guy that wants to silence their votes versus the daughter of two Christian pastors?!

[Rookie Yinzer]

He is sh-t posting. Nothing he says makes sense.

[Oryxslayer]

I'm surprised you guys still have a well known troll on visible.

You can always find some shady person to pay off and support Republicans. Like Pastor Darrell Scott  who went to the White House kissing Trump's butt. Scott said he spoke to some of the "Top Gang Thugs" in Chicago and that they said they respect Trump and were gonna work with him to "lower that body count". Only to admit it was a total lie and he didn't talk to anybody.

I finally got around to watching the AM Joy  segments (I was canvassing this morning) and I gotta say, I love seeing Abrams and Tomlinson together. Hopefully we’ll see more of them together soon if you’re picking up what I’m putting down

Yes, I second the motion...

I live in a State where I can drive a few miles down the road to a local pharmacy for a special Holiday to pick up some really good stuff in the "Grass Seed Capitol of Oregon", but since I don't have a Medi Card, since I do not have any such medical conditions, it would be extremely interesting to experience whatever bag or brownies that Bronze is not only holding, but apparently bogarting as well.

Now I'm extremely curious about what Bronz knows about the "Latino vote in GA", not to mention how he didn't even mention a larger chunk of the electorate "Asian-American Voters in GA".....

In the words of Fraternity of Band's song from the late '60s made famous in the soundtrack of the Movie "Easy Rider": "Don't bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me....."

Alrighty, so here are the "final" EV figures by county in comparison to the total 2014 gubernatorial vote. Statewide, the figure is 81.3% (2,073,320/2,550,216).

Two maps below that show the same thing basically: one showing the percentage for each county, and one (with red & green) showing if the county is above or below the 81.3% statewide total.

I got a pro-Kemp flyer from the NRA in yesterday's mail with the banner "Michael Bloomberg and George Soros are coming for your guns!" with both their pictures.  Seriously.

At this point, I might actually hate Brian Kemp as much as I hate Kris Kobach.

BTW, I found the poll that I posted yesterday on the polling subforum; some interesting data-points in it. It's a Democratic internal essentially, but I would love it if at minimum, the difference between top of the ticket and downballot was this minimal; you could have a near total flip of statewide offices in the event of a Abrams majority win. It also seems to reaffirm my belief that Barrow will perform the best of all candidates:

Finally found the poll (linked in OP).

Some nuggets from it:

They also polled downballot:

[Adam Griffin]

The downballot numbers kinda make me think the poll is too good to be true

Just from the Abrams figures yesterday I was skeptical, but yeah: historically there has been a larger difference between top-ticket and down-ballot races (and furthermore, as more non-black, non-white voters participate, that gap is likely to increase due to them falling off after the top of the ticket more often than whites or blacks).

It is a poll conducted by a former ED of the DPG, and was commissioned by a group led by a former YDG/YDA executive and another guy who started Better Georgia, so it's about as much of an internal as you can get without being directly commissioned by a campaign.

[Adam Griffin]

Anybody who watches ATL media market TV: is this ad running, or is it just online only? Really hoping NGP is blasting the airwaves with this one.
