In Georgia elections if no candidate reaches the 50% threshold the top two voter-getters automatically head to a run-off. This year in the 2022 elections, neither incumbent democrat Raphael Warnock nor Republican challenger Herschel Walker hit 50% in the Senate race so they will face each other in a December run-off. According to the Souther Poverty Law Center, this particular election between 2 black candidates is racist.
Here is Yahoo! News with a totally unbiased history of the Georgia run-off election process:
Denmark Groover Jr. didn’t like losing elections because of Black people.
The segregationist knew firsthand what that felt like when, in 1958, he ran for office and watched the majority of African-American Georgia voters rally around his opponent, resulting in his loss.
After Groover finally was elected to office as a state representative in 1962, he prioritized rallying support for instituting a runoff rule that required over a 50-percent majority for a candidate to win, in both primaries and general elections.
The goal was to weaken the “Negro voting bloc” and give white voters a second chance at coalescing around a popular candidate.
Here’s a fun fact: Denmark Groover Jr. was a democrat.
Here’s another fun fact: The point of the Georgia run-off election system is to make sure the most popular candidate wins and Yahoo! News even acknowledged that in their racially inflammatory write-up. Liberals constantly harp that an election result should represent the will of the people and the Georgia run-off does just that.
After Yahoo! set the table for a racism feast, Poy Winichakul of the Southern Poverty Law Center sat down to gorge herself:
“The play has been historically to create a web that entangles voters,” said Winichakul. “These [laws] were working, while also under a reign of terror, especially for Black Americans…There were other measures of social and economic pressures and threats, physical threats. There was a whole web of things aimed to disenfranchize, especially Black Americans. Now today that web exists again.”
Not that there is any validity to Winichakul’s argument but since the run-off has been in effect continuously since 1964, how did this “web of racism” exist, disappear for an unspecified time, and then reappear for the 2022 election? The easiest answer to that question is, the person with the stupid name is full of shit.
Winichakul’s argument gets more fecalized because she says there is no early voting and mail-in ballots for the run-off like there is with the general election.
Winichakul of SPLC says rules like these represent the web of voter suppression that Georgia’s runoff originators hoped would trip up Black voters.
“You want to vote absentee. There are extra hurdles to do that. You want to vote early in person. There are extra hurdles to do that. You want to vote in person on Election Day, extra hurdles to do that. So every which way you try to go, you could get stuck in this web,” said Winichakul.
Mail-in ballots and early voting didn’t exist until recently but according to this bitch, whose name I’m tired of typing, the “web of racism” only recently reemerged. Basically she’s saying those things that stop racism in Georgia elections are actually racist things.
Also, what she’s really bitching about is that in a run-off, it’s much harder for democrats to harvest ballots and steal the election.
The biggest fail in this run-off racism accusation however is the fact that both candidates are black. Whoever wins is going to be a black Senator from the State of Georgia and that would seem to be the least racist thing possible.
