[ [link removed] ]Tom Bonier tweet - Some 67,879 Georgians who did not vote in the
general election have already voted in the runoff.
A veteran Democratic political strategist notes that "67,879 Georgians who
did not vote in the general election have already voted in the runoff. A
majority of them are voters of color… Two-thirds are over the age of 35."
That's big. The entire presidential election in Georgia was won by just
12,000 votes.
Deep organizing by groups working in Georgia’s Black, Latinx, and Asian
communities is making a game-changing difference. Powering these groups
through this final week is critical to turning the U.S. Senate blue.

Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports that as of this Monday, “more people
-- 2,337,477 -- have officially voted in Georgia’s upcoming Senate runoff
than in any other runoff in Georgia history.” But the Atlanta Journal
Constitution warns: "Turning out Black voters is seen as essential for
Democrats in Georgia runoffs."
That's what makes this reporting from the New York Times on organizing in
Georgia’s Black community alone read like a case study in how to win an
election:
NY TIMES: "Control of the Senate could hinge on Black voters -- and on an
ambitious effort to get them to the polls in the largest numbers ever for
the Jan. 5 runoff elections…
"That means Democratic hopes also may rest on the ability of grass-roots
groups to achieve the previously unachievable. ‘It’s unheard-of to turn
out more people in a runoff than the general election,’ Felicia Davis, a
veteran organizer in majority-Black Clayton County, Ga, told me. ‘But,’
she insisted, ‘we are going to do it.’
"Just four years ago, 22 percent of Georgia’s eligible voters were not
even registered. That figure fell to 2 percent this year."
Early voting in Georgia’s runoff election began just over two weeks ago
and there’s just one week left before the election ends on January 5.
An immediate donation to groups organizing voters on the ground in Georgia
could help elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff and flip the U.S. Senate
blue!
