NEW analysis from @sonam_sheth and me: Republicans bit the hand that fed them by attacking the integrity of Georgia's elections and election officials. Georgia voters rewarded them by giving Loeffler, Perdue, and the GOP's Senate majority the boot businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
Before the GA runoffs, Republicans not named Trump overall did very well with record-high levels of mail and early voting: the GOP had only lost 1 Senate seat on net, picked up 11 seats on net in the US House, and 80+ seats on net in state legislatures businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
So far, It's unclear whether the GOP's brutal loss in Georgia's runoffs will spur any soul-searching to affect the party's incentive to overturn election results, spread bad-faith misinformation and conspiracies, and attack election officials. businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
But that reckoning won't come today, as dozens of Republican lawmakers senators (including Loeffler), plan to raise formal objections to the counting of presidential electors from at least three states that voted for Biden — including Georgia. businessinsider.com/republican-sup…
