If they were really being logical, they'd realize that the only proven way to prevent abortion is to expand access to birth control. Abortions have gone down in the term of every Democratic President since Roe v. Wade.

I don't think these people are very logical, hence so many of them claim to be pro-life while also being pro-gun, pro-war, anti-mask, anti-universal healthcare etc etc etc.

Georgia could be a dead heat.

It's a form of fundamentalism. There is but one truth in the matter. Everyone who doesn't agree is under the control of satan.

Georgia could be a dead heat.
will it get into the world of hanging chads and so on?
though PA should sew things up so it won’t really matter. Senate race may be more crucial there.
Haha! Pretty Dem counties returning votes that are even more likely to be Dem (ie by mail). I'm not getting deeper into it than that
That specific form of voting tech was outdated even 20 years ago. I think most places are pretty watertight from that point of view now, outside of voter error in completing the ballot

Yes and fundamentalism does not respond to logic. The only thing for it is a change in the emotional context. Which either happens or it doesn't, no reliable way to do it from the outside. The question really is how to avoid amplifying the crazies at the expense of everyone whose opinions aren't so loud because they involve nuance and compromise and stuff.

Anyone think that the hatred is deep enough that electors might do their own thing? Only 33 states have a law requiring electors to go with the popular vote. In the rest - including Georgia and Pennsylvania - the electors are free actors. Convincing just one Biden elector to vote for Trump could change everything.

so we can expect a 72 toddler whining that it's not fair that people voted against him
And it's all an anttiiiffa plot to steal the election

Well, you‘d have thought that the electronic shit would make the counting almost instantaneous...
the paper hardcopy is for verification presumably
It can make navigating the ballot paper a hell of a lot easier when you have multiple elections to vote in and if there's a paper trail then shrug
But that's precisely what makes the type of machines NoXion describes dodgy. There needs to be a paper trail so that you can't just wipe chunks of votes electronically (by accident or design).

Where's the bloody sun?
It's 48-48 atm. Two other races ongoing are Alaska (very probably GOP) and North Carolina which is poised as delicately as the Presidential is in that state. So call it 49-48, guess at how NC ends up and yep, the two GA seats will decide who controls the chamber
ie whatever happens in the other two races (barring a miraculous double Dem victory), GA will have the Senate majority in its hands in January so long as Biden wins the Presidency
