Vote for Daniel Blackman: Download and share Democratic flyers for Georgia’s Jan. 5 runoff

By Jonathan Grant @Brambleman In about 70 hours, Georgia’s polls will close in the all-important runoff elections. You know who you are. You know who you want to win.

Six candidates were on the virtual stage. Republicans Sen. Kelly Loeffler and U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, Democrats Raphael Warnock,…

Warnock supporters: Instead of telling Matt Lieberman to quit the race, volunteer (and get a yard sign this weekend)

  By Jonathan Grant @Bralmbleman Forget about Matt Lieberman. He ain’t gonna quit the race and even if he does, absentee ballots with his name are already going out. Let’s make it so it doesn’t matter what he does now.
