Who Lost Georgia and Ushered in Democrat Dominance in Washington?
By The Heartland Institute | Jan 19, 2021 10:37 AM ET

Almost lost in the universal furor of President Trump’s rally on the National Mall, the assault on the U.S. Capitol, and the second Trump impeachment is the GOP’s loss of both United States Senate run-offs in Georgia.  With two razor-thin runoff margins (1.0 percent for Ossoff; 1.8 percent for Warnock) Democrats once again have at least nominal control of the White House and both Houses of Congress for at least the next two years.

Over the four years of the Trump administration, Republicans and conservatives made great gains in federal appeals courts, including the Supreme Court. But because conservatives and conservative judges alike believe that the judiciary’s job is to say what the law is and not what it should be, the courts are likely to be less active and more reactive than they have been the past four years.

With a more supine Congress, President-elect Joe Biden need not stretch his executive powers in the manner of at least the last two administrations, and his opportunity to get all the cabinet picks he wants just increased dramatically.  And because personnel is policy, the Democratic party will be well-positioned to implement at least most of the policies that it wants. If Congress does not foolishly pursue a doomed second impeachment trial in the Senate, a new president can get a lot done in the first 100 days.

Those few remaining senators in the middle—primarily Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)—may help stop such proposals as the abolition the Electoral College, statehood for Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, and expansion of the Supreme Court. But the incoming administration can now largely reverse many of the conservative gains of the Trump administration. That includes reimplementing job-killing regulation of the economy and redistribution of earned income; racial preferences in all spheres of society; once again greenlighting Iran’s nuclear weapons development program; and continuing to downplay the threat of an increasingly aggressive Communist Chinese Party.

Harris won't have the headwinds Trump did with issuing EOs..."Judges" won't be lining up to strike them down as they did with Trump.

Abolition of the EC would take a Constitutional Amendment and needs to be ratified.

Ever heard of the NPV Compact?  A number of states have already signed on.

Doesn't really matter.  The Rats have proved elections don't matter, Popular Vote or Electoral College.

There's an ongoing effort in Georgia to recall Raffensperger and Kemp.  But unlike the recent elections, recall signatures will actually be checked against a list of registered voters.

Most of states that have signed on are dem themselves.

They cannot repeal the EC without an amendment because it requires totally reworking government from the ground up.

And that would absolutely start a civil war if they tried. And for good reason.

[Absalom]

After Georgia chose Biden, 2 Senate seats remained open.
Winning then would have given the R's a blocking majority.
So what did Trump do???
He went to Georgia, bitching and moaning endlessly about vote
fraud and how poorly he was treated; ignoring the Senate race.
The result was predictable.
Perhaps someday, the Trump Posse will wake up and realize what
a self-absorbed and destructive loser Trump has been since infancy.
Someday being about a century!!!!!

Are you sure the Courts will back you up on that?  I'm not at all.

Probably not, now that the Rats can rig the Electoral College easier.

@Absalom

Considering the fact that the same fraud combined with the failure to follow election laws that was in place Nov 3 was also in place on Jan 5, do you think this could have had some bearing on the results?

Seriously.  When poll workers get caught on video feeding the same stack of ballots through machines multiple times during the first election, and then instead of being prosecuted or even fired are allowed to keep their exact same jobs for the second election, that doesn't put up a red flag for you?  Or when absentee ballots with no signatures are still counted as legal votes?  Or when photo copies of ballots are included in official vote totals?  Does any of this cause you concern?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I'm pretty sure the courts would have a hard time. Because you cannot just repeal EC, you need to posit something to replace it.

[yodaspock]

We need to demand A constitutional amendment to change the Electoral college.

Having read the Georgia Evidence It's quite obvious that Trump Won Georgia, But  those claims would have had to Evaluate each ballot during the opening of the ballot.

As it's an opinion forum, all are entitled.
I reject the vote fraud argument as decisive in Trump's trashing.
Instead, I assert that this absurd buffoon (who was about as qualified
to be President as Hoody Doody) wore out the patience of plain people
w/his chronic and compulsive antics, exaggerations, lies, smirks and
all the rest of his bag of neuroses on daily display.
At the end of the day the majority said enough, no matter that
they, as well as I, have neither confidence or interest in Biden.

Actually, we still don't know if Georgia "chose Biden".  All we know is the election and voter fraud was rampant.

At the rally on Dec 4, the President hadn't brought up the election fraud.  He was busy tearing down the democrat candidates and building up the republican candidates.  He had just invited them onto the stage to give their stump speeches when the VOTERS broke in and demanded the Senate candidates and the Republican Party "fight for Trump"..... this demand was organic, interrupting the speeches by the candidates who slinked off the stage.

One Of The Most Powerful Moments In @realDonaldTrump Rally History: “FIGHT FOR TRUMP! FIGHT FOR TRUMP!”

The result was a great, big GOP leadership self-fulfilled prophecy.   Perhaps someday the GOP losers will wake up and realize their voters mean what they say and have no use for the self-absorption, cowardice and corruption of the GOP leadership.

All GA had to do was fight for the President; and fighting for the President meant fighting for the Republican voters.  These voters wanted the National GOP, Republican GA Gov, Republican GA SOS and Republican GA Statehouse to approve and perform an audit of the Nov 3 election results.  And ... they wanted these same Republicans to fix the fraud before the election on Jan 5.  The REPUBLICANS from top to bottom said "no".   

Let me be clear here @Absalom  -- you and your GOP ilk flipped these good, honest voters the middle finger and many, not all, but many flipped it right back ---- AND you allowed an encore of the mail-in and registration voter fraud from Nov 3 insuring fraud is the norm in every election to come. 

The GOP owns this.

The DNC has been spending the last few years getting black from the north to move to Georgia and register to vote.

Your assertions, while unproven are fair and may be accurate.
My counter, while also unproven, is this.
The pandemic fundamentally altered the normal election cycle of in-person voting as
massive numbers voted by mail or electronically, producing volumes of paper, the
mortal enemy of any efficient operation.
This opened the door for abuse, fraud and waste; yet to what degree remains
speculation, that must be proven in a Court of Law, a reality beyond the grasp of
Giuliani, Powell and the rest of the flunkies on Trump's so called "legal team".
Had Trump grasped any of this, matters might have turned our differently but instead
he just kept running of at the mouth and Biden is now in the WH w/the door closed!!!

America has faced polio, small pox, dysentery, and malaria epidemics - none of which instituted a suspension of the US Constitution or a complete breakdown of state law.  And those other breakouts caused many times more deaths than our current situation.

.  .  .  as massive numbers voted by mail or electronically, producing volumes of paper, the mortal enemy of any efficient operation.  This opened the door for abuse, fraud and waste; yet to what degree remains speculation

Uh, no.  There is a definitive number of absentee ballots that were cast by people who were allowed to register by mail and then vote without producing ID in violation of Georgia state law.  There is a definitive number of absentee ballots that did not receive a signature check as required by Georgia law.  And there is a definitive number of votes cast on electronic voting machines that were never certified by the State as required by law.  There is also a definitive number of mail-in ballots that were never mailed in, but dropped off at makeshift drop-off locations, also in violation of Georgia State law.  When all of these are added together, the number is roughly 55 times the so-called margin of victory.  That means that if only 2% of these illegal ballots are illegitimate, that Trump would have won.

This opened the door for abuse, fraud and waste; yet to what degree remains
speculation, that must be proven in a Court of Law

Provided that you are able to find a court that is willing to hear the case.  That has not yet happened.  But regardless of what the courts decide to do, I will continue to believe that Al Capone was guilty of racketeering, contract murder, extortion, and bootlegging based on available evidence instead of feigning ignorance and deferring to a corrupt court.

Nope.  Donald Trump and the idiots working for him are primarily to blame,  by depressing turnout in GOP counties with their talk of stolen elections and the futility of voting,  and by obscuring the GOP's message that Senate control was the key to thwarting the prog agenda.
