Deliberately Losing Georgia?

 

Democrats barely won Georgia in 2020.  In sane times, a party that barely wins a state for the first time would do everything it can to shore up (fortify?) its margin of victory, hoping for bigger future wins.

Democrats are doing the exact opposite.   They are doing everything they can to alienate the state by preventing members of their most loyal constituency from making money off the All Star game.

I guess that kind of craziness isn’t surprising in an era where mayors let their own cities burn, thinking it will enhance their resumes.  Or a time when large companies openly alienate half of their customers.  The Democrats’ attitude toward Georgia would seem to fit with the other craziness.

Maybe.

There might be a less crazy reason for the Democrats’ behavior:  Maybe they believe they can’t win Georgia again.  Why?  Voter ID and other fraud prevention measures.  If true,  the Democrats are implicitly making one heck of an admission.

Take Florida for example, That state turned from purple to red after it cleaned up its vote-counting process.  Coincidence?

The Democrats are very good at the game of politics.  It’s hard to believe they would throw away a hard-won state just to burnish their woke credentials.  Unless they think the state is already gone.

If Georgia is already lost to the Democrats, they might as well heap abuse on it as an example to intimidate other states considering similar reforms.

    The scale at which you are alleging would require dozens of people being in on it. None

    Weren’t there hundreds of Democrat vote counters and poll watchers who knew that Republican poll watchers were blocked from the counting centers?  Everyone was in on it to one degree or another and in one way or another.

    And poll watchers said that were not allowed in the private room where an extraordinarily high percentage of disputed ballots were being electronically “cured”.  How many people does it take to steal an election?

    They did run with it. And then people who refused to accept the result called Georgia officials traitors who just wanted to be popular because they were going on and going interviews to those same networks.

    You’re saying they aren’t traitors and on the take? You’re saying for sure that Kemp (and probably Raffensperger) didn’t select Dominion because they were assured their return would be that they would be reelected no matter what? I can’t prove it of course, but it makes more sense than anything else.

    Kemp did make the mistake of authorizing a verified recount, but then the next day his daughter’s boy friend was blown up in his car and then (iirc) that same day Kemp rescinded his order. And then ironically a three days later the GBI officer who was tasked with investigating the so-called crash was found dead, I believe of a gunshot would to the head that they a called suicide.

    But, no, fortunately there was nothing untoward about anything in Georgia’s election process.

    Everything you said there is wild speculation with no evidence whatsoever.

    Well, no the Dominon part may have been speculation but accusations — and only accusations — were made.

    The part about the crash and the GBI death are documented.  I can’t find all the web sites immediately, but here is some reporting.  I used only left-wing websites to avoid the perception of bias.

    Kemp called for an audit and recount on 11/21/20 per CBS News.

    For details, see MSN, reported 12/4/20:

    “Harrison Deal died Friday at age of 20. The UGA junior died in a fiery car accident on Interstate-16, Pooler Police confirmed to Channel 2′s ABC affiliate WJCL in Savannah.

    and

    “Today, we lost a member of our “Kemp Strong” family and words cannot express how much Harrison Deal’s life,… Harrison was the Kemp son and brother we never had,” Kemp said in a statement.  And, Del was reported to be Kemp’s daughter’s boy friend…

    Deal was a Loeffler campaign staffer, as well as Kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend, per Mediaite.

    The explosion was heard a block away, not a crash but it “sounded like a bomb” according to those living nearby.  Videos of the burning car showed a massive flame, and showed that the car that hit Deal’s remained at the scene and burned as well; but no other deaths were reported, nor was there any reporting on any driver of the other car.

    I can’t find any longer a left-wing news site that states when Kemp retracted his 11/21 call for an audit but it happened the same day (iirc) that Deal was killed.

    Then 12/17/2020 The Police Tribune reported: Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Special Agent James “Jamie” O’Sullivan was found dead at his home on Dec. 14, according to the Chandler County Coroner’s Office.

    James O’Sullivan was the GBI officer charged with investigating Deal’s fatal auto accident.

    I don’t have the original reporting at my finger tips, but this is what I have for now.  My timing of the officers death was off by a few days, but it still happened.  And I can’t find a cause of death anywhere.   And reporting is that it wasn’t ever stated.

    Let me clarify. I’m well aware those people died. It was awful. What there is zero evidence for in that case is that it had anything to do with the election. Frankly, you’re besmirching the memory of a young man who died way too young and applying stuff from spy fiction to a Georgia election audit. 

    Gateway Pundit or somebody is taking people for a ride.

    Who in the world have I besmirched?  No one.

    This was not gateway pundit.  And the reporting is from left-wing sources.

    My apologies if I have misunderstood but help me understand then the connection with the death of Harrison Deal. What does his awful accident have to do with this?

    Actually, you make good sense.
