Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

Why do so many people think Kemp is doomed? This is strange take.

Georgia just barely went for Biden and Kemp is an incumbent. I would say he is favored for now.

Only having 10% of the state strongly approve of you as Incumbent governor is bad. I have a hard time seeing Kemp win the primary and if he does make it through the primary why would the trump supporting republicans turn out for him if they think he betrayed them? Kemp could still probably win reelection were still many months removed from the primary but things aren't looking too great for him right now and he's definitely not favored at the moment.

Georgia House passes bill allowing for RCV for Oversees and absentee ballots

If this bill passes in the state senate and is signed into law it would also make Runoffs occur 4 weeks after the election instead of 9 weeks. The ranking would only come into play in elections that would go to runoffs. The bill would also make it so that party preference for candidates in special elections would be shown.

I can only really see Jones getting 10-15% max with Perdue in the race no clue who his base is but theirs a good chance this goes to a runoff which will really help Abrams the winner of the eventual runoff will likely be damaged politically and low on cash.

Saagar from Breaking Points made a really interesting hypothesis on why Trump's endorsed candidates did so bad in GA last night compared to OH and PA. Essentially long-time conservative republican voters value Trump's endorsement much less than those who were Obama-Trump voters who only recently became republicans and younger republicans which there were much more of in OH and PA compared to GA which had much more lifelong republicans.
