A recent poll conducted in Georgia by SurveyUSA of voters who do not plan to show up for next week’s runoffs elections found that 55% of respondents who identify as “very conservative” said the reason they will stay home is because they believe the process is “rigged” — a concerning sign for Republicans who count on the outcome in order to maintain control of U.S. Senate.
Georgia GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will face off on Jan. 5 against Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively. If both Republicans lose, the Senate would flip to Democratic control, leaving the left in charge of both chambers of Congress and the White House if President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office as anticipated.
What are the details?
In its analysis of the results conducted for WXIA-TV, SurveyUSA wrote:
Of those who are not voting in the US Senate runoffs, a disproportionate number are conservative. Of those who identify as “very conservative,” 55% say they are not voting in the runoff elections because “the voting process is rigged.” This compares to zero percent of liberals and very liberals.
Fox Business’ Charles Payne reported the findings, calling the results “cray cray.”

The polling firm did note that “Georgia is a hot mess and no opinion pollster could possibly say what will happen when votes are counted,” but according to The New York Times, the GOP has been “on edge” already over the runoffs as numbers show strong early voting in some of Georgia’s Democratic strongholds.
The outlet pointed to Walker County—which President Donald Trump won with 79% over Biden—as one example, where as of Wednesday, turnout “was only 47 percent of the general election total.”
While President Donald Trump has campaigned in Georgia for Loeffler and Perdue and encouraged Republicans to show up in the runoffs to vote, he has been highly critical of the state’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for weeks, calling them “fools” on Wednesday while lambasting their oversight of the Nov. 3 presidential election in Georgia that was called for Biden.
Earlier this month, pro-Trump independent lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell acted on their own accord during a “Stop the Steal” rally in urging Republican Georgia voters to boycott the runoffs unless officials made changes to the process ahead of next week.
If SurveyUSA’s poll has any validity, that message might have resonated with some voters. The pollster wrote in its analysis that “7% of ‘very conservative’ voters say they are ‘intentionally boycotting’ the runoffs.”
Talk about a brilliant way to give the leftists what they want! It is hard to believe that someone with any awareness at all would think that it is alright to fail to vote because of thinking that the vote is rigged. It sounds to me like the “riggers” won!
Those dummies will be turning a steal into a give away. We stand a better chance with a crooked election than without voter support. No vote means no chance.
What a bunch of fools. To not vote as a “protest” is like shooting yourself in the foot.
We need every vote to prevent this country from becoming a third world country.
Agreed. Go ahead and tie the noose around you own neck for the hanging. You are doing just what they wanted you to do.
How about stirring up every center-to-right person you know and tell them that gridlock beats the alternative. Overwhelm the election with a tide of Patriots that will not be overcome by any ballot stuffing.
Are you a Patriot? The do the right thing.
If conservatives are that stupid and stay home to “protest” they deserve the government they’ll get! The unfortunate part is the we’ll have to live with it too.
Agree. GA Please get out and vote your country needs you!!!!!!!!
Georgia Republicans , the whole country needs you to get out and vote on your election date, if you don’t then you are giving away the whole USA to the DEmorats and yes I spelled it that way on purpose. I am 72 years old and a widow on social security but I donated to your republican candidates Please the protest is not worth , giving away our country to socialists, think about you children and grad children and their children. We must fight for our freedoms. All of our fore fathers died to give us the freedom and many young men and women are still fighting for it. Freedom is Not Free so get mad and stand up with all and fight for it now . It depends on your state. So get out and vote Republican all the way!!!! God Bless you and God Bless America.
I hope they heard you Catherine!
I’m 71. A 22-year Army Disabled Vet. I hate to say it but… UNLESS the Congress acts on nullifying voter fraud in Blue states there will be NO CHOICE , if Freedom is to persevere, except, Civil War. Yes, I said it. All Veterans took an OATH to protect and defend the Constitution from ALL enemies foreign.. AND DOMESTIC. I never rescinded that Oath. Simple enough. Just wear RED ONLY, from the time the Georgia Election is “decided” to Jan 6th, and… Let’s Go! …”The Tree of Liberty must often be refreshed with the blood of Patriots”… IF this is fixed NOW, we’ll NEVER see another Conservative in national office….
Here’s a thought, if every GA conservative votes, in order to win the leftists would have to “create” enough votes so that to total would be more than the population of the state! Even a chicken shtuff SCOTUS would have to take note!
BS! ………A leftist lie!
The filthy Democrat party has destroyed the integrity of the American voting system by rigging the elections, now most people believe that the elections are not valid any more thanks to democrat misdeeds
I agree with everyone who has so far posted on this story. Are conservative Georgians really that stupid to not vote as a protest? That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face and it will guarantee a leftist democrat victory.
You must vote conservative Georgians to stop the runaway train of the socialist democrats. America as a free republic hangs in the balance and you put your freedom and every freedom loving American’s freedom in jeopardy by not voting.
Vote Georgia and vote republican and save our country from the radical socialist democrats.
and I thought dumbocrats were the stupid ones.
Look folks, it’s simple.
You sit on your ass in the runoff cus you’re pissed about the fraud, the 2 radical leftist America hating democrats tip the balance of power in DC to the democrat scum who played us for the fraud game, its never pursued, they do it from now on
I’M VOTING!
