Why is Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger working so laborious so as to add drop containers and take different steps to make it tougher for Republicans to win. Is he actually that intimidated by Stacey Abrams?

Gingrich tweeted the quiet half that Republicans aren’t speculated to say. The previous Speaker of the Home admitted that when extra individuals vote, Republicans can’t win, so the endgame for the GOP isn’t about interesting to as many citizens as doable, however making an attempt hold as many citizens as doable from voting in elections.
Newt Gingrich is all in a tizzy, as a result of 1.2 million Georgians have requested ballots to vote by mail in the Senate runoff elections, which implies that Republicans could discover themselves in the identical scenario as final month when Biden beat Trump. The GOP could should depend on an early voting/election day turnout surge to make up what could possibly be an enormous Democratic mail in poll edge.
Republicans hate massive turnout elections, as a result of when voters present up, they lose. Georgia Republicans have been profitable within the runoffs for years as a result of they all the time discovered a solution to suppress the Democratic vote and maintain turnout down.
2020 could possibly be very totally different, and that’s the reason Republicans like Gingrich are complaining about making it too straightforward to vote.
