☆ Republicans want Brian Kemp's mojo to rub off on Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff, but hurdles remain as the governor uses his political operation to boost the GOP
  + stars: | 2022-11-26 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Brian Kemp has emerged as Herschel Walker's most powerful surrogate in the Georgia Senate runoff. Kemp, who won reelection as governor, didn't campaign with Walker during the general election race. This normally wouldn't be a notable act in GOP politics, but the Georgia Senate runoff election is not a normal contest. For that reason, Walker has found himself openly embracing Kemp, who came out of the general election as the biggest winner in Georgia politics. On November 7, Kemp flew around Georgia with most of the statewide GOP candidates — including Raffensperger — but Walker wasn't part of the mix.

“We implore voters and members of the me­dia to allow election officials to do their work.”The process is painstaking. Mail ballotsMail ballots can take extra time to count, especially because lots of Americans are voting by mail. The extra time it takes to count mail ballots was responsible for many of the conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, because Republican-leaning Election Day votes came in first, while Democratic-leaning mail ballots were added to tallies later. Fortunately for anyone eager for results, provisional ballots were just one-eighth of 1% of ballots cast in 2020. Election officials may also re-canvass their results, a quicker process that involves repeating the work they did to reconcile and verify all their data.
