With the December 6th runoff for Georgia’s U.S. Senate seat quickly approaching and early voting kicking off across the state, Georgia’s conservative voter registration and mobilization group is launching a campaign targeting voters who they say lost faith in the state’s elections after 2020. Yesterday, Greater Georgia kicked off their efforts to mobilize disenfranchised voters by restoring voter confidence and hopefully driving these voters to the polls next month.
The campaign will include texts, phone calls, digital ads, and radio ads specifically targeted at voters in the north Georgia area as Republican challenger Herschel Walker tries to unseat Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock.
According to information from Greater Georgia, about 339,000 Georgians failed to come back out to vote in the 2021 runoff election after voting in the 2020 general election, largely over concerns about election integrity. In the 2022 general election, just over 100,000 of the 339,000 disenfranchised voters came out to vote.
“If just a fraction of Georgia’s 339,000 disenfranchised voters had come back out to vote after November 2020, conservatives would have won both United States Senate seats in January 2021,” said Greater Georgia Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler.
“That’s why, over the last 18 months, Greater Georgia has focused heavily on re-engaging disenfranchised voters – informing them about Georgia’s Election Integrity Act and the new provisions that ensure it’s easy to vote and hard to cheat.”
Loeffler went on to say: “Today, with headlines highlighting election issues in states like Arizona and Nevada, this work is as critical as ever. So for the next two weeks, Greater Georgia will be putting our full effort into supporting voter confidence and turning out the vote – to ensure that what happened in Georgia in 2021 doesn’t happen again on December 6th.”
