Brad Raffensperger?

Someone who needed the $2000 stat

[Tiger08]

Slightly right of center Romney-Clinton-Biden voter who didn't want a Dem trifecta at first but hated the voter fraud conspiracy shenanigans after the election.

[Sir Mohamed]

A GOPer who already voted for Biden but for whom Trump's perfect call 2.0 and Perdue's complacency was finally a bridge too far.

Forsythvoter's wife.

[Motorcity]

Someone who really wants that extra $1400

Maybe someone who realized that Georgia contributing to a trifecta would be good for the state? I fully expect the state to be a powerhouse comparable to Florida in 2030

[Xing]

Someone who bought into the idea of putting a "check" on Biden, but came to realize what that would actually entail.

I wonder if a lot of Georgians actually were enraged Trump was insulting and trying to interfere with their state in that call.

This is correct for me. My wife would be a Perdue -> Ossoff voter although she's really the only one I know. She generally shares my views (center left on most social issues except death penalty and gun rights, center right on most fiscal issues). For her, it wasn't so much one event that moved her vote but she came to the conclusion last week that the direction the Rs were taking the campaign had just gone too far into blind support for Trump (e.g., Loeffler's claim that she voted "100% of the time with Trump"), and so she ended up switching her vote.

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. I could also see a lot of people going into November thinking that Perdue at least was a little more moderate than Loeffler/Trump, or at least *appeared* to be, but the two months since proved that he was just another empty suit and was pandering hardcore to the Trump crowd.

For the runoffs, I was actually leaning pretty strongly Perdue up until the stimulus debate given I had decided weeks earlier that there was no way I could vote Loeffler with the type of campaign she was running, and I wasn't fond of giving any party a trifecta. What changed my mind was the stimulus bill made me realize that Perdue would be willing to abandon core fiscally prudent principles, just because Trump said so. It's fair to say it was the one-two punch of the election fraud theatrics plus this that decided it for me.

Perdue following up to this by saying he "would have" objected to the EC count today really didn't help matters although I had dropped off my vote by the time he said that.

There are still a lot of people out there who don't want the federal government infringing on states' rights. I'm willing to bet Trump's intervening hurt Republicans a lot more than people think.
