    Default Two US Senate Run-offs in Georgia: Victory for both means a 50/50 Senate - Must Win

    Help the two GA senatorial candidates win their January run-offs.

    We must have a 50/50 split in the Senate or Mitch will expertly stonewall Biden; it's what he does.

    This is my email message to the Georgia Democratic Party this morning; please consider doing something similar:

    Energetic, fit, retired person in Tallahassee.
    How can I help secure Democratic victory in the two senatorial run-offs in January, from Tallahassee?
    Phone bank, transportation for others, boots on the ground in South GA, other?
    Put me to work, now, please.
    Thank you.

    I don’t know a lot about how it works.. tied 50/50 in the Senate, the VP is the tie breaker?

    ^^Yup.

    Without a 50/50 Senate we just won two of the keys for a lock that requires three to open.

    While we've removed the guy who pours gasoline on ship's fires, without the third key the lock stays just as secure as if we had none.

    We are not home; everybody needs to pitch in to get us there.

    It's that simple.

    A large slate of 'R' Senators are up next time, the Dems better make the most of the next two years,
    and prepare to win those fights, regardless of what happens now.


    United States Senate elections, 2022
    Elections to the U.S. Senate will be held on November 8, 2022, and 34 of the 100 seats are up for regular election.
    Special elections may be held to fill vacancies that occur in the 117th Congress.

    Of the 34 regularly scheduled elections in 2022,
    12 seats were held by Democrats and
    22 were held by Republicans as of November 2020.

    All of us need to lean into the effort to secure victory for the Dems in the two GA senatorial run-offs.

    Achieving a 50/50 Senate is the whole ballgame at this point; and you can bet your life that the Rs know it.

    Everyone needs to focus on this one, single task like a lazer beam.

    Spread the word everywhere, to everybody; send money, volunteer your time, energy and intellect.

    Predictions of a US Senate performance based on the test run in PA? Doesn’t seem feasible but that’s not going to stop anyone.

    Ich Bin Ein Georgian.

    Cracked a nice can of syrupy peaches to put on my oats this morning.

    And am dreaming of a cycling vacation in/around Athens when this covid mess is behind us....

    It's nice to feel good about something.

    Warnock and Ossoff won! That's pretty fantastic on an otherwise awful day.

    Stacey Abrams should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

    A whole bunch of insurrectionists should be feeling very lucky that whomever was tasked with organizing law enforcement and riot control for their visit was less than incompetent...and that they weren't part of a BLM march instead of a mob attempting to subvert the election results.
