Let’s win Georgia—and flip the Senate

The 2020 election? It’s stretching into 2021, baby!

Both of Georgia’s Senate races are heading to a runoff, which means that both Jon Ossoff and Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock need to win their races in order for Democrats to gain control of the US Senate. (Here’s a full rundown on what a runoff means, btw.)

Easy, right? Well… runoffs complicate things. Because who’s going to remember to vote in the middle of the holidays (in the middle of a pandemic)? That’s why runoffs are so dependent on turnout—whichever party turns out more voters is going to win. It’s that simple.

That’s where you come in: Georgia needs all hands on deck to help them win. You in?
