Georgia Election Official: Absentee Ballots Not ‘Automatic’ for Senate Runoff

Penny Starr 4 Dec 2020

Georgia’s preparation for the January 5 runoff election for two U.S. Senate seats includes providing for absentee voting, but the chairman of the Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections said the distribution of these ballots will not be “automatic” and will require additional steps.

“Just because you got an absentee ballot in the last election does not mean you’ll get an automatic ballot in this election unless you’re one of our 13 or so thousand elderly or disabled that are on our list,” Mike Kaplan said in a recent meeting. “Everyone else, even if you voted by absentee in the Nov. 3 election, has to request an absentee ballot. I want to make that very clear.”

Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) reported on the development:

Quote
    The Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections began sending out absentee ballots Nov. 18 to those who recently requested them or were already on the list. Anyone who previously requested an absentee ballot and checked a box for elderly or disabled will be automatically mailed a ballot for the upcoming runoff, said Macon-Bibb elections supervisor Jeanetta Watson.

    Kaplan is worried voters might be confused since all active voters were mailed ballot requests this summer.

    To lower the COVID-19 risk and burden on polling places in the June elections, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent absentee ballot request forms to all 6.9 million active voters in the state. In that effort, a record 1.6 million Georgians requested an absentee ballot for the June primary with more than 1.1 million voting by mail and more than 1.2 million voting in person.

This is such bullshit.  The first polls already have the Democrats ahead.  Recent history is repeating itself and not one damn elected Republican gives a shit.

What should they do?  The polls are decently close and Republicans have outperformed the polls in 2020.

Well...of the top of my head, we could stop the cheating.  That would be good for 5-10 points in the final result.

I will NOT comply.

How refreshing.  Bibb County election officials actually abiding by Georgia Law.  Too bad we can't get the Secretary of State to do the same.

She's already gotten close to a million sent out to her fake voters.

Heh.
I'll bet a truckload of those "ballots" have already been "worked up" and now awaiting distribution to counting points on January 5th...

What should they do?

They should follow the law.  Stop sending out unsolicited mail-in ballots, check the ones they receive for signature matches, disallow ballots with unauthentic water marks, stop counting ballots in the middle of the night outside the view of election observers, and finally, identify and arrest anyone dropping off more than one mail-in ballot.  This is what the law demands, all of which were completely ignored last month.

The GOP is now engaged in a game of high speed chicken with its own voters in Georgia.

Does it want to keep the Senate? Yes.

Does it want to investigate voter fraud in Georgia? No.

The GOP's hatred of President Trump & its instincts for self preservation are about to collide.
