what's the over/under for the amount of money that will be spent on these races? With the Senate riding on this, I would imagine every org in the country will be throwing money at this one.

"Georgia Democrat and Senate candidate Jon Ossoff has been compensated by a Hong Kong media conglomerate whose owner has spoken out against pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, according to his most recent financial disclosure.
Ossoff, whose role as CEO of a London-based producer of investigative documentaries has drawn scrutiny over the years, reported in an amended financial statement that he has received at least $5,000 from PCCW Media Limited over the last two years — a detail that has previously gone unreported. Ossoff did not disclose his ties to PCCW in his initial financial report, which he filed in May.
PCCW, the largest telecom agency in Hong Kong, is run by Chairman Richard Li, son of Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing. Li also serves as a councilor for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank. But for years, Li has spoken out against Hong Kong independence and the pro-democracy protests that have rocked the island as the Chinese Communist Party has consolidated control....."

^So freedom of speech is okay if you agree with him; if you don't, you need to be "reeducated." Unbelievable!

If the SOS was a Dem would it be illegal? Is that what you are asking?
The whole issue from the start should have been legality of the mail-in votes in GA, WI, PA, etc. If the envelopes have been thrown away, then declare the election stolen and move on to own the libs. If Trump can’t prove it, neither can Dems disprove it if the envelopes are missing.
We've done mail-in votes at least to a point for years. Unless specific laws are being broken, no court is going to disenfranchise everybody who sent in a mail-in ballot. It's not going to happen.
The person seeking to invalidate a vote has the burden of proof.

As much as I hate to admit it, Trump lost. It's time to move on the Georgia Senate races and cut our losses.
If at least one of the Georgia Republicans doesn't win, it's going to be a long two years with possible irreversible damage like packing the SC and God knows what else.

100-200 people across a single state (roughly 1-3 persons per county) submitting 100 illegal ballots each is the difference in vote totals in AZ, GA, and WI. The election was clearly stolen under the ethics of most folks.

Yes, this is true, as it is in many elections. Now, show us the evidence that it actually occurred in this election. Who were these 100-200 people? Do that, and I'll join the Rudy Giuliani Fan Club (despite the Borat beat-off incident). In fact, I don't even need that. Show me solid evidence that ten people did this. I don't even need names - just strong evidence that ten people did this (not that they could have but that they actually did), and I will presume that the election was fraudulent and call for its invalidation. You don't even have to make the numbers add up to flip the results. If you can find ten in the relevant states who cast 100 illegal votes, I'll assume that there are more and say we should toss the whole thing.
Agreed, if ballot auditing showed >10% of the vote differential is fraudulent, you can easily assume 10x wasn’t caught. The focus should be on the mail-in ballots and the myriad of ways they can be abused.
You know the borat thing was a hoax. Rudy had removed a microphone wire or something from under his belt and was tucking his shirt in when Cohen rushed in.

Allegations of election fraud scheme surface after undercover video released | WOAI
While she now claims she was lying the whole time, does this shock anybody? Of course this kind of thing is going on. It would be incredibly naive to believe otherwise.
When people say there's no evidence of voter fraud they just have their head in the sand. How much is the question....
Most dudes caught having a "moment of self-pleasure" are going to come up with a plausible explanation for why they were actually doing something else.
Well he WAS taking off his microphone.

The only shocking thing is that she did it in Bexar Country. That place is so blue it's like the County's balls are getting squeezed.
Is it official?
Officially called, yes.

Both contests have been called for Warnock and Ossoff. The mail in military and absentee ballots have until Friday to be received and counted. Provisional ballots and other minor issues remain but not expected to reduce the margin of victory below .5% to require automatic recount.
With the 50/50 split the VP will cast the tie breaker in Senate.
McConnell continues until new VP sworn in Jan 20th.
Democratic majority coming in Jan.
Trump legacy of the run off loss.

Thought this was interesting. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families.

I'd like to know how it's legal for any public university or government agency to use taxpayer $ to fund any politicians campaign? Maybe one of you lawyers can explain that one, but certainly not surprising who their $ went too.
I have a number of family / friends who work or worked for the Federal Government and they are supposed to remain neutral while on the job. Of course they can vote, etc. but cannot use their Federal position to assist a campaign.
I believe that donating in the name of the US Government, HHS or any other agency violates that policy.

List and verbiage on Ossoff donations sourced directly from a Fox Business article. So it's gotta be true.
Not sure where I heard the comparison last evening, between potus and the Wizard of Oz, but it stuck. In the end, they both got exposed as empty suits. The dude goes to Ruby Red Georgia, (no Ruby Red Slippers), with the balance of power in government at stake and he couldn't carry his two incumbents over the finish line as the lose to the Black guy and the Jewish guy. In Georgia.
He came into power with his party controlling both houses of congress and leaves with both houses in Democratic control. The Capital building is a bloody crime scene. He has run twice and has lost by more than 10 million votes. That's some legacy. Christ, I owe Reagan an apology.

I'd like to know the source of the list? I'm fairly certain that it's illegal for the US Government to fund a campaign. Employees of the Government can donate the $2,500 maximum in their own names but then that makes the list a lie. I know Clean wouldn't purposely lie and would hope the source he took the list from wouldn't either.
