Georgia Republicans baselessly claimed Tuesday that a delay in Fulton County’s primary election reporting was evidence of fraud — and sought to use the episode to advance their push to have the state take over election operations in the Democratic stronghold. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‘Time for the state to take over’: Georgia Republicans seize on vote-reporting delay in push to control Fulton County elections
It delayed its reporting after police received reports of possible gunshots following an altercation between a man in military-style gear and another person.

Yes, I am white. I’m sure my white privilege affords me my hope, or my naivety. You’re probably right. That’s why I voted for Esteves in the primary. But I’m glad to rally behind Bottoms. GA has surprised us in the past, specifically with Ossoff and Warnock. I hope they surprise us again

Not with that attitude, which is why we need to rally behind her. Whether you voted for her or someone else in the primary, she’s definitely better than the Republican alternatives

@bluestein.bsky.social reports there will be no results in Fulton County (Atlanta), until after 11pm. Why? There was a shooting at an elementary school (that was serving as a polling site) earlier today, extending voting there; the county cannot release results until polling is over.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Counties that are reporting their early votes so far in Georgia show the two GOP-backed justices outpacing Trump's share of the vote, and the Dem advantage in the early vote is *not* translating in an advantage for the candidates backed by Dems.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Georgia has 2 statewide elections next month; Dems are hoping to get their first non-federal statewide win in decades. One question: Who'll vote in obscure off-year races?! Georgia now has turnout data online. So far, turnout in Fulton County (Atlanta) is twice as high as rest of state so far.
