Last February, former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler launched an organization focused on registering new conservative voters, engaging communities, and strengthening election transparency and uniformity across the state. Four months later, Greater Georgia — the group created following Democrat wins in both the 2020 presidential election and 2021 Senate runoff elections in Georgia — reports it has registered thousands of new conservative voters and achieved important milestones following its launch.
“Greater Georgia set out to register new voters, engage more diverse communities, stand up for election integrity, and stop the monopoly on voter mobilization by Stacey Abrams,” said Loeffler. “In just four months, we’ve done that and more by building a strong foundation and delivering early results. From registering thousands of new voters to sharing our positive message with Georgians across our state and securing election integrity, we are leveraging our statewide network, experience and infrastructure to advance pro-growth policies that lift up every Georgia family. Although we have seen tremendous progress, there is still much more work to do to build out a comprehensive platform and to strengthen our elections and our state.”
Loeffler announced Thursday that Greater Georgia has engaged over 170,000 registered but inactive conservative-leaning voters and has reached over 700,000 Georgians to promote election integrity across the state.
The group has hosted six roundtables with community leaders from the African American, Hispanic American, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Indian American communities and has held eight events in six counties across the state to register new voters, recruit volunteers, and expand their network in preparation for the 2022 elections. Loeffler announced they have also hosted nine training sessions with volunteers, many who are new to grassroots advocacy.
Along with these accomplishments, Loeffler said Greater Georgia has been focused on fair elections and have addressed many concerns raised by Georgia voters. Among them, Greater Georgia called for an open investigation into Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s actions and filed an open records request with Raffensperger’s office concerning the millions of dollars they received from CEIR, an organization founded by Mark Zuckerberg. They also launched a mass-mobilization effort to ensure awareness, registration, and mobilization for the special election for State House District 34 in Cobb County, outperforming the district’s 2020 state house result by 3 percentage points.
In the four-way race for this state legislative seat, Republican Devan Seabaugh placed first with 47 percent of the vote – only 206 votes shy of an outright majority – and will face Democrat Priscilla Smith in a runoff. The two Republican candidates in the race together won 60 percent of the vote, leaving only 40 percent for the two Democrats. Joe Biden won 47 percent of the vote in the 2020 general election – a significant setback for Stacey Abrams who called this race “a most important special election.”
Greater Georgia also supported the case to unseal and inspect Fulton County absentee ballots from November 2020 and launched a digital ad campaign in support of the Election Integrity Act (SB 202) and thanking the Georgia Legislature and Gov. Brian Kemp for their efforts. They also launched a billboard campaign slamming the MLB’s decision to relocate the All Star game from Georgia based on what they called “lies about Georgia’s voting law from Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and Raphael Warnock.”
