Tom Friedman thinks there are not enough Georgia democrats to win the Senate
As Georgia has begun a hand recount in the midst of claims of voting irregularities, New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman is calling for liberals to move to Georgia to influence their election. It would appear that democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael G. Warnock might not have enough Georgians to vote for them so they need New Yorkers and Californians and Oregonians to come and stack the vote for them. The two senate races have become of great national interest as the outcome of these elections will likely determine which party controls the Senate for the next few years.
Georgia is one of those states that has some weak laws on voting and democrats have even built a political machine in Atlanta. However, Under Georgia law, you must be a “legal resident of the county” and meet other requirements to register to vote. Potential voters are required to provide either a Georgia driver’s license or a Social Security number and fill out a form online or in-person to send to the secretary of state by Dec. 7.
On CNN Friedman said:
“I hope everybody moves to Georgia, you know, in the next month or two, registers to vote and votes for these two Democratic senators.”
Thus far, the discredited New York Times has shown no concern for one of their columnists calling for vote stacking. After all, it is par-for-the-course. It is what we have come to expect of them. That is why we can never trust them.

Just a warning to my progressive colleagues:
It is a felony to vote in the state of Georgia if you are not a legal resident.
Does anybody think Thomas Friedman is unfit to write for a major newspaper?
And where did he say that? He said move to Georgia and register.
Which is preposterous & ridiculous but not illegal and certainly not worth moving to Georgia for.
Agreed. Not gonna happen
I think your own words go to the implication:
He said move to Georgia and register.
Which is preposterous & ridiculous but not illegal and certainly not worth moving to Georgia for.
I don't think any reasonable person would permanently move to Georgia to cast a vote, no matter how important it is, but how many would consider renting a room down there just to take advantage of an inadequate residency requirement in Georgia's election laws?
There is no implication, it just doesn't say what you implied,
and renting a hotel doesn't qualify for residency.
no outside help is needed. the GOP candidates for the senate will be too busy explaining to their fellow georgians about how they profited from insider trading during the beginning of the pandemic to campaign effectively. one with a Q affiliation and the other too afraid to participate in a debate. they're out of money with but a trickle of cash left to come in. their hero has lost and he's scamming any cash left, from the brainless rubes that voted for him, with his election fraud fundraiser that goes straight to his new PAC, and then into the pockets of his family of grifters. the back of dixie has been broken and the party of white supremacists is headed for the landfill after trump finishes looting it.

Could you provide some proof of those allegations?
all in the public record. even the part that was deleted. look it up as soon as you have a free hand.
You aren't new here. You know how it works. You make a claim, you have to prove it.
Well, the biggest hurdle for Democrats is that the referendum on Trump is over. So expect some outrageous allegations and hair-on-fire political mendacity to get out the vote.
The New York Times trying to influence Georgia voters only shows how the Democrat's political machine works. What Democrats do is legal but that can still be wrong.
The Republicans have 50 seats locked up. The Dems can look forward to some midterm setbacks.
