Analysis: Voter fraud talk cost the GOP the Senate

[jon-nyc]

An analysis of the Georgia Senate runoffs indicates that talk of voter fraud suppressed GOP turnout. Of the 750,000 plus voters who voted in the November 2020 elections but not in the January 2021 Senate runoffs, over half were Republicans who fit the profile of GOP/Trump supporters. Democrat Jon Ossoff defeated Republican Senator David Perdue by 45,000 votes. Appointed Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler to Democrat Raphael Warnock by 83,000 votes

More so than the rhetoric behind the 2020 riots cost the left. Sad, but it's where we are.

Were Ossoff and Warnock pro-BLM riots?

Recall Linn Wood was literally telling roaring crowds at Stop the "Steal" rallies not to vote.

I have wondered more than once whether that guy is in the employ of the DNC.

It would be hard to do a worse job if you went out there deliberately trying to completely fuck everything up.

Another total miscalculation of what GOP voters were thinking which is bizarre because they got exactly what they are encouraged and are now surprised.

There was an article somewhere that mentioned that the number of people arrested for the riot at the capital did not vote in the 2020 election for President.

How is an analysis even needed? I thought it was pretty clear Trump was shooting the GA republicans in the foot. Maybe he's playing 5D chess and is really a Democrat who wanted to inflict as much damage on the GOP as possible before leaving office. Double impeachment, fractured party, unwilling to concede losing a re-election, losing control of the senate... Pelosi and AOC should hug this guy.
