With Ossoff's 7 point lead from last week evaporating I think it's time to take ballot machine rigging a little more seriously.

Voters get the government they deserve. Ossoff is a mediocre candidate but he's LIGHT YEARS better than Handel. If you're a voter who doesn't realize and you stay home than you're an idiot.

If a voter didn't bother to get out of the house, they deserve absolutely terrible government that aims to gently caress them over specifically. I mean, good lord. And there's good news! That's the exact government we have.

If you're a leftist and you can't bring yourself to vote for the moderate over the far-right lunatic when there are literally only two candidates then you're an idiot.

But I can't stay away. Also Nate Silver has already told us to not freak out about this result either way it goes and I basically trust him 100% after November.

Spacebump posted:What caused him to lose the lead? It was an outlier. GA-06 is a white FYGM-as-hell area too and the reason Ossoff needed to win without a run-off is because GOP voters were going to consolidate around Handel, which is what is happening. Also apparently people who turned out for Ossoff in the first election aren't voting again this time? If so those people are some next level stupid.

If those Ossoff campaign emails are real, and Ossoff loses, he should line up his fundraising committee against the wall and shoot all of them in the loving head.
