Over 1M Absentee Ballots Requested So Far for Georgia Senate Runoffs, 75% of State's November Electi
Source: Newsweek
More than 1 million absentee ballots have already been requested for Georgia's Senate runoffs next month, which is 75 percent of the total absentee ballots requested in the November 3 presidential election.
Gabriel Sterling, a top Georgia election official, said at a news conference Monday that 1,037,172 absentee ballot applications have been put into the voter registration system. There are an additional 39,259 ballots that are on the dashboard for the online request process, bringing the total to 1,076,431.
According to Sterling, more than 43,000 absentee ballots have been returned and accepted by counties around the state.
Data from the secretary of state's office showed 628,505 of the current requests are from the rollover list, which includes people over the age of 65, the disabled and military voters who can check a box on their first absentee ballot application each year and have an absentee ballot sent to them automatically for every election in that year.

So are we going to get complaints and lawsuits claiming fraud when Loeffler and Perdue lose?

In the primary a good friend bitched about her ballot not showing up quickly enough. It hit her mail box the following week. Mine didn't arrive for about two more weeks. Both were received in plenty of time to return via USPS. Advanced voting doesn't even start until next week.
My absentee is sitting on the kitchen table, ready to be taken to an AIP location when convenient.

I can only imagine how much louder the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be if we actually won both seats. I would enjoy watching MAGAts heads explode.
