All eyes are turning to the state of Georgia as both of the state's US Senate seats are heading to a runoff election. Whether or not Republicans hold the senate and are able to stop the radical Biden agenda hinges on these two elections. Some major Democrats have an interesting, and certainly illegal, strategy for flipping the senate: urging Democrat voters to move to Georgia to vote in the runoff!
A major progenitor of the idea is the former Democratic presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang. He first tweeted that the best thing for Biden/Harris supporters could do would be to move down to Georgia to help the Democrats take the senate.
He followed this up a couple of days later with the announcement that he and his wife were moving to Georgia to aid in the election effort.
It isn't clear from these tweets that Yang is moving to Georgia with the intent to vote in the election, nor does he explicitly state that that is what his #YangGang followers should do. But by providing the voter registration deadlines and mail-in voting deadlines, the implication is that it is important to move to Georgia to vote for the Democrats Ossoff and Warnock.
In a more explicit call for, let's call it what it is, fraud, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said that is precisely what Democrat voters should do.
Friedman tells Chris Cuomo that he hopes "everybody moves to Georgia in the next month or two and registers to vote and votes for these two Democratic senators." There it is, esteemed NYT columnist, our moral better, encouraging voter fraud in the state of Georgia.
And here is Democratic activist, organizer of Handmaids Coalition of Georgia (I kid you not), urging northern Democrats to move south to help flip Georgia.
Eddie Zipperer, assistant professor of political science at Georgia Military College, and one of the best follows on all of Twitter, told Fox News it would be a major difficulty to try to move to Georgia to vote, so it probably won't be an effective strategy. Zipperer said, "What's going to pose the biggest problem is going to be all manner of outside money coming in. If I were a Republican, I'd be much more concerned about outside money coming in than outside people coming in."
Just because it may be illegal and ineffective is not stopping Democrats from urging this strategy. And get ready, because I am sure any effort to call out this fraud will be met with cries of "vOtEr SuPpReSsiOn" from the left-wing of the Democratic Party. After all, they live in an alternate reality where Stacey Abrams is the Governor of Georgia.
