So, it is a GA voting systems dude. And he is going to be the subject of a Twitter rage shortly. Because he is going all in on this. He is talking about the cameras and how they show how nothing went wrong. How all votes counts. He is PISSED He got death threats.
He's literally a civil servant. There is NO reason to know who this person is. So yeah he has a right to be pissed.
I have no doubt he will be getting more. I want to send him money for security

Gabe is pretty awesome
You can't hack a machine that doesnt have a modem or connection.
Also all the ballots they 'found' in a warehouse? They were the emergency ballots that had been sitting there forever
I'm watching CNNs feed and I can't see the ASL interpreter. But I wish I could because I catch a hand every now and again.

I dont think Gabe is a fan of 45 I like how the stations point out he is a "lifelong republican". Gabe has had it.

I'm confused about them leaning into GA so hard. He still doesn't win even if he gets GA, right? Is this just about the runoffs? Normally I would wonder if there's a strategy here but I think he's literally just insane at this point. Maybe he did do this with other states, but those states haven't leaked the calls?

Well PA's gov is a dem isn't he? Seeing GA flip is like/would be like seeing ID flip to blue. So I think its the matter of a reliable red state NOT awarding 45 their votes is what really sticks in his craw.

I think at this point it's pure insanity, but historically 45 said if he ever ran for Pres it'd be as a Repub because they're the dumbest group of people. It's almost like he's trying to intentionally tank the party, but we all know nobody over there is doing that kind of planning.
I could believe he's acting out like a toddler having a tantrum because he didn't win. Nobody has any foresight to see the effects of what they're actually doing.
I really hope GA ends up being a Dem landslide

That Lin Wood shit is straight Q.anon. Just pull a slip of paper out of the Q hat and it'll either be "child trafficking," "satanic rituals," "drinking blood," "Hollywood/NYC/DC elite" and on and on.
Loeffler's been leaning into that with Warnock a bit lately too.
Q people's brains leak out their ears with that drivel.

Amazing that, of all states, of all politicians, it is the Republicans in motherfucking Georgia who grow a spine first.
I pause every so often to reflect on the absurdity that Gabe and Raffesperger doing their fucking jobs with an ounce of fucking dignity and honesty is news in 2020/21.

And poor Gabe shouldn't even be in the spotlight. GA ran a basically flawless election and the dude is up there reassuring people that they should vote again tomorrow and to not suppress themselves.
I'm also pretty sure in his head during that presser, he was thinking I dont get paid NEARLY enough for this shit.

I think everyone should keep a reminder in their soul that these folks will go back to voter suppression and dirty tricks as soon as they can though. They are doing the right thing today but still very much part of the problem. Gave was on MTP in early Dec timeframe saying he supported Perdue and Loeffler. So he’s still sus to me.

I'm glad they have found their spines, but I wonder if any other states had runoff elections they were trying to protect they would have stood up too. My bet is most of the GOP is waiting and hoping he just fades into the distance, just like the ones in Congress that finally acknowledged Biden won.

(I know no one here is saying they should, I'm responding to fb groups that are annoying me lol) And yet, we're the generation blamed for "participation trophies"
