Don't trust the DOMINION VOTING MACHINES... BOYCOTT THE ELECTION... TRUMP SAID IT IS RIGGED, BELIEVE HIM. DONT VOTE....

Mail in, we know who uses mail in. Stay home republicians, you don't want them to put you on a list, and come and take your guns, just because you voted. Yes they are putting republicians who vote in this run off, and comming to take your guns. Heck maybe your bibles also. Dontgo

Fun fact: Georgia is home of the Joesph Stalin Museum. Proof that it's full of communists!!!

Watch Out - Will Trump stick his nose in to corrupt and mess this one up. Under orders he needs to keep Moscow Mitch in power to continue the disruptive work endorsed by foreign sponsors

Just be honest. Who ever wins Wins. I hate that the leader of the Free World is a LIAR. And being evil is a serious danger to all of Humanity.

Uh ohh I smell cheating! Perdue and Loeffler do not concede and demand recount with signature audit!

Democratic Party must do more to help to win these two senator seats! Otherwise, Mitch McConnell will make new version Obama 2.0!!!! Don't stay home!! Go out!! Voter for Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock!!

Mail in Balloting should be Outlawed.

Active participation.

I hope they will go blue after the Republicans have sat back and done nothing to help with the virus unless it was by the state not in Washington.

And they need to pay attention for any double votes in electric and mail. Trump was telling citizens to vote twice. That should be held against Trump.

I think a vast majority of people will vote by mail. I hope the democrats still fight like hell for those seats, Trump not running this time telling people not to vote by mail.

send more lmao

This election is a Life -Line 4 a very high majority of Americans. Democrats need to WIN ALL here. There is no other way to put it. Hope everyone comes out and support Democrats. Time 4 Mitch to retire.

More fraud

Fraud in the making.

This s*** has to stop

Wow

Since no one in GOP is helping Trump this fraud election we should not vote for them. It is Trump or no one!

With the Covid situation in America seems a sensible move to me.
