Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang announced Sunday that he will be moving to Georgia to help Democrats clinch two crucial Senate runoffs in January.
The 45-year-old entrepreneur from New York made the announcement on Twitter, saying the best way to help President-Elect Joe Biden is to get him a Democratic Senate.
Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will face Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff (respectively) on Jan. 5.

Look for influx of new residents before December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day). As I understand it, these newbie Georgians can register to vote and then vote in the runoff elections.

Make sure they pay income taxes as citizens. Should make a few of them think twice.

If they win the senate we are truly screwed. Look for them to do away with the filibuster, then they will ram through anything and everything. Gun control laws, free speech infringements, obamacre revived, you name it.

Watch out Georgia. It's Gen. Sherman all over again. This whole ploy is disgusting. Leave the population of Georgia alone to make their own choices. Georgia needs to change their voting requirements.

I looked up the law from Georgia, It took me five minutes. Anyone not registered for the general election can NOT vote in the runoff. To all the journalists out there, "You're welcome."
Georgia Code Title 21. Elections § 21-2-501
(10) The run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be a continuation of the primary, special primary, election, or special election for the particular office concerned. Only the electors who were duly registered to vote and not subsequently deemed disqualified to vote in the primary, special primary, election, or special election for candidates for that particular office shall be entitled to vote therein, and only those votes cast for the persons designated as candidates in such run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be counted in the tabulation and canvass of the votes cast. No elector shall vote in a run-off primary or special primary runoff in violation of Code Section 21-2-224 .

Move my foot. They will rent an apt, get a mailbox, and pay a bill. That doesn't make them residents of Ga because they are only going to be there for a short time. The Ga legislature should pass an emergency measure that ONLY voters in the National Election can vote in the run-off elections. Otherwise, more scams and more fraud !

Another example of the perfect being the enemy of the good. Kelly Loeffler wasn't the conservative choice, so Doug Collins opposed her, taking third. I'd like to think his support will be enough to bring her through the runoff, but here we are again.

Thanks for the voting info #6. The law certainly sounds reasonable and logical. But the dems have this cheating down to a science (they are always telling us to go with the science). I will never trust an election again.

#6 when I read that, I went "Whew!, --saved by the law" --but then, in the next heartbeat I realized, "Law? The machine that can tilt a national election can tilt a run-off, law or not"

The election is over. What's Yang going to do? Help create more ballots than voters?

I hope the attorney general of Georgia has the stones to arrest them if they attempt to vote in the runoffs.

No person not duly registered to vote in Georgia as of November 3, 2020 can thereafter be registered to vote in either of the currently up-coming U.S. Senate runoffs elections.
So much for the people who foolishly plan to claim Georgia residency for the purpose of trying to vote in the up-coming U.S. Senate runoff elections.
Below is sub-section 10 of Georgia Code Section 21-2-224 boiled down and clarified to describe voters who are eligible to vote in the up-coming runoff elections for the two U.S. Senators for Georgia:
"(10) The . . . [up coming U.S. Senate] run-off election . . .shall be a continuation of the [just held U.S. Senate] election[s], for the particular [U.S. Senate] office concerned. Only the electors who were duly registered to vote [as of November 3, 2020] . . . in the . . . [U.S. Senate candidate] election[s] for candidates for that particular office [U.S. Senator] shall be entitled to vote therein [in that election] . . ."

Wouldn't have this problem except for the 17th Amendment. What were the State legislatures thinking when they ratified it?

So if you had to be registered to vote in the general election, why is Yang moving there? What's the point? Does he know something that we don't?
My guess is that in the coming few weeks we'll hear from numerous people of color or those with social identity issues that will play well to the media---and these people will claim they WANT desperately to vote in the runoff but nobody told them they had to be registered for the general...The media will go for this 24/7 and someone in GA, some State legislator will turn this into an issue like Illegal immigrants. They weren't told the runoff law, so we have to let them vote.
The Senate runoff is deadly serious. I hope there's an organized effort for Pubbies to do everything in their power to avert this disaster.

I thought Yang was better than that, but I was mistaken. This is so sad and terrifying. Stand up and be counted.

In my state, to vote in a runoff, you had to vote in the election that forced it. Does GA have such rules? Or can any democrat move there long enough to be declared a resident and be able to vote?
