Georgia Senate Runoff

If I'm in the Georgia legislature, job number one is abolishing local election boards and have all elections administered by the state. So many poorly run areas (Fulton, Dekalb, etc) that have just as poorly run election boards.

The State should be bringing it's resources to bear on elections and not overmatched local officials.

Dont worry, I am sure Republican poll watchers got plenty of evidence of voter fraud since they knew what to look for after the November election. lololololol. Less than 2 years I will be smoking a legal joint!

Kind of you. Here, verify for me that this is from the Democratic party platform. Don't want anyone saying I'm a Russian disinformation agent.

The 2020 Democratic Party Platform:



Securing Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
Democrats are committed to protecting and advancing reproductive health, rights, and justice. We believe unequivocally, like the majority of Americans, that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion. We will repeal the Title X domestic gag rule and restore federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides vital preventive and reproductive health care for millions of people, especially low-income people, and people of color, and LGBTQ+ people, including in underserved areas.

Democrats oppose and will fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to reproductive health and rights. We will repeal the Hyde Amendment, and protect and codify the right to reproductive freedom. We condemn acts of violence, harassment, and intimidation of reproductive health providers, patients, and staff. We will address the discrimination and barriers that inhibit meaningful access to reproductive health care services, including those based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, income, disability, geography, and other factors. Democrats oppose restrictions on medication abortion care that are inconsistent with the most recent medical and scientific evidence and that do not protect public health.

We recognize that quality, affordable comprehensive health care; medically accurate, LGBTQ+ inclusive, age-appropriate sex education; and the full range of family planning services are all essential to ensuring that people can decide if, when, and how to start a family. We are proud to be the party of the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits discrimination in health care on the basis of sex and requires insurers to cover prescription contraceptives at no cost. These efforts have significantly reduced teen and unintended pregnancies by making it easier to decide whether, when, and how to have a child.

We believe that a person’s health should always come first. Democrats will protect the rights of all people to make personal health care decisions, and will reject the Trump Administration’s use of broad exemptions to allow medical providers, employers, and others to discriminate.

Here's the Environmental Justice stance. I thought working racial quotas into climate policy and then using "Justice" in the header was clever:

Both races called by Dave now

I'm curious... how does the "senate majority" title work in a 50 50 senate? And another wrinkle, isn't it actually 50 R, 48 D, and 2 I?

How does that work?
 
The Indepedents are just Democrats under a different name and caucus with them, so it's 50-50. Both sides vote for their majority leader candidate, Fweedom Harris breaks the tie.

Ahh. Makes sense.

Luckily we have Fweedom lady to break all ties
 
One more for ya Jaw.

Hypothetically, with a 50-50 senate, couldn't ANY democrat make a power play here? And say "unless you vote for me as majority leader, I'll vote for Cocaine Mitch"?

I know of course nobody would but just seems like the leverage is there to take it way from Shumer. I admittedly don't know much about the process though
