The New Yorker: Can Democrats Win Georgia - and the Senate?

By Charles Bethea

    In 2014, the New Georgia Project was founded by Stacey Abrams, and its volunteers have assisted millions in getting to the polls. Along with a few groups like it, the New Georgia Project helped get Biden a victory in the red state.
    Early voting for the special election in the state ended on December 31st, and the organization planned to knock on a million doors before then.

"The incumbents, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, 'do not give a damn about the fact that Black folks are dying at an alarming clip in our state,' Ufot said...Health disparities are particularly stark in Georgia’s rural Black Belt, she noted, where the pandemic has taken a heavy toll. 'What an incredible holiday gift it would be to send Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the United States Senate so they can go there to do the people’s work,' she added."
