Georgia Republican Party Is Rising to the Challenge Following 2020

The death of the Georgia Republican Party following the 2020 election has been greatly exaggerated.

Joe Biden won Georgia by approximately 11,000 votes, primarily thanks to a combination of infusions of cash funded by the Chan-Zuckerberg Foundation into deep-blue urban counties and pandemic anomalies like unmonitored drop boxes and widespread absentee voting.

As my colleague Kevin Downey Jr. wrote yesterday, Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan has gone the way of Rep. Liz Cheney in hating Republican voters in Georgia and decided not to run again.

He needs to be more vocal about the real issues with the 2020 election, such as uneven funding, and explain how the new Georgia law specifically addresses them to overcome the hard feelings completely.

Despite the drama, or maybe because of it, the Georgia Republican grassroots appear highly motivated.

Georgia Republican Chairman David Shafer is reporting record turnout at recent GOP district meetings, saying that approximately half of the attendees are first-time participants.

The 2022 cycle is eminently winnable for Georgia Republicans with the correct messaging, despite 2020.
