Georgians are voting by mail. All voters were mailed a request .........

for absentee ballot. I mailed mine weeks ago. I got my ballot Saturday and will mail it tomorrow. This is for the June 9th primary.

No, Republicans are not suing to stop it.

It's very good to know. Although that might not be happening in November. Hope it continues!

purges from the voter rolls, breach of chain of custody, and ballot harvesting, among other things.

But, dang, great news that they're doing VBM!

GA Dems need to do outreach to ensure people mail in their ballot requests!!

I found an article on this from April 20, 2020 -- is there something new?

I hope coalitionforgoodgovernance.org & Fairfight.com keep a close eye on how the GA SOS will count the votes.

I found something truly alarming on the GA SOS website -- it's been there for years too!

https://sos.ga.gov/admin/files/Intent_to%20_Tabulate_Early%20Nov_5_19.pdf

Perfect regulation to allow for flawless cheating!! LEGALLY tabulating all day ON ELECTION DAY while elections are in process.

I’ve already sent my ballot in. We also have Valerie Plame on it, running for Congress. Our present Congressman Ben Ray Lújan is running for the Senate to replace retiring Senator Tom Udall. Lújan is running unopposed.

Maybe republican voters will figure out that voting my mail isn't so bad, at least not compared to possibly getting the virus if they have to vote in person.

If things get worse after trumps "opening" of the country, many voters, including republicans, might just like the idea of voting by mail and not taking a chance of ending up in the hospital, or a coffin.

I live in Washington state, and we have been voting by mail for years, and I have never heard anyone, republican or Democrat, complain about voter fraud or someone somehow changing their vote at the post office like trump claims. It's the safest way to vote in times like this.
