"Georgia On My Mind"..... I just heard a really good seminar on Flannery O'Connor from Dr. Jessica Hooten-Wilson and the Colson Center. O'Connor died young - of lupus. She believed in Christ and in objective truth and challenged the culture around her, not only her local society in Georgia but also people throughout the world. I think she will be recognized as one of America's greatest writers of fiction.....This weekend, the Masters. And in January those elections.

Erick, love your show. Question about election law, is it true that college students can register and vote at either campus or home address? Word on the street is Dems are already sending absentee ballot request to GT students to vote even if they live in another state. They are saying you can vote using your campus address so they can register to vote in December and vote in the runoff in GA.

Call me crazy, but I'm not worried about it. Joe Manchin is on record now that he won't vote for court packing, or ending the filibuster. I actually trust him. West Virginia will keep him accountable. He's like the mirror image of Susan Collins. So even in a 50/50 Senate, he has functional veto power. I don't think that Senate will pass any of the crazy stuff.

Listened to your radio show this morning (Tuesday) and I’m hooked. Will be tuning in daily for more of your insight and analysis. I have volunteered at the Georgia Victory site but was interested in the possibility of a hand count and wondered how to volunteer to help count. Assuming they’ll need many folks to help with that. Do you know if that will be the case and where to sign up to help? I’m in North Hall County.

I hope there is no mail in voting for this senate race! Will there be an early voting opportunity or only January 5th?

New voter registration, early in person voting, and absentee ballots are all available. The timelines are tight, but they are outlined here: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/09/politics/georgia-runoff-key-dates/index.html

Thank you!

God bless your hearth Erick. Roy Moore was the best candidate for Alabama you said. Pains me to say it, but with the fraud of unchecked mail in voting, expect Chatham and Fulton to have 120% turnout.

I thought Roy was until the allegations came out. But for those, he'd have won.

We can be forgiven for one time. Georgia's GOP needs to get it together--really they are fast moving to Virginia GOP dinosaur status. Seems like the N.C. has gotten huge suburban growth, yet the GOP there seems to have done well in N.C.

I hope you're right about this Erick. You sure missed the mark with your "Georgia isn't in play" "Georgia is not going to go blue" predictions.

I would love to be a salesperson for a TV/radio station in the metro Atlanta area. My commisions between now and Jauary 5, 2021 are going to be HUGE.

Yeah, I really didn't see Biden doing this. I knew it would be close, but flipping was something. At the same time, on the Senate races, the data looks good.
