Pelosi: Civilization 'In Jeopardy' If GOP Takes Senate
[DAILYCALLER] On the one hand, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, U.S. Rep. Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
claims that Democrats are not "fear-mongers;" on the other hand, she believes civilization is doomed if Republicans take control of the Senate from Democrats in November.

The former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous statements on "Real Time with Bill Maher," which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday.

#1  What's the matter, San Fran Nan doesn't have the usual MSM outlets? Not much to like about Maher? However, he is like the blind pig who finds an ear of corn occasionally. He has a couple of good questions for Pelosi (most detested woman in the U.S. according to some) about which she babbles answers.

Voter fraud probe roils Ga. Senate race
[THEHILL] A group helmed by a major donor and policy adviser to Democratic Senate candidate Michele Nunn is under investigation by the Georgia secretary of State for alleged voter fraud.

Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) said in a memo, reported by WSB-TV, that his office has "received numerous complaints about voter applications submitted by the New Georgia Project," an organization launched to register and turn out voters to the polls.

"Preliminary investigation has revealed significant illegal activities, including forged voter registration applications, forged signatures on releases, and applications with false or inaccurate information," Kemp wrote in the memo.

Nunn is running against Republican David Perdue for a Senate seat left open by the retirement of Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). Democrats see the race as a pick-up opportunity in a year where they are largely playing defense.

Most polls have shown a close race, with Perdue leading Nunn by three points in the most recent survey, conducted earlier this month.

Republicans are seizing on the allegations against the New Georgia Project to tarnish Nunn, suggesting the group was part of a larger effort by Democrats to "expand the electorate by any means necessary."

"The serious allegations of illegal activities and potential fraud from liberal voter registration groups are outrageous and should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law," said Perdue spokeswoman Megan Whittemore.

The New Georgia Project and its parent organization, Third Sector Development, were issued subpoenas this week demanding documents relating to the allegations be turned over to the Georgia Election Board by Sept. 19.

Third Sector Development is run by Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D), who has contributed to Nunn's campaign and was listed on an official campaign strategy document as a proposed member of a group of potential policy advisers.

Abrams said in a statement she was "saddened" by the subpoenas, and that the group is working to comply with them.

"The abrupt release of this subpoena saddens me as I know the efforts of this organization have been done with the mission of increasing voter registration and engagement in the most disadvantaged and underserved groups in the state," she said.
NBC Atlanta adds:
Abrams says her organization has registered more than 85,000 new voters, and has responded aggressively to any reports of canvassers who may have filled out forms inaccurately or fraudulently.

"Our answer is we fire the people who made the mistake and make sure we improve our training," Abrams said. "That's what we've done every single time."

#2  "The abrupt release of this subpoena saddens me as I know the efforts of this organization have been done with the mission of increasing voter registration and engagement in the most disadvantaged and underserved groups in the state," she said.

She's referencing all City and Fulton County employees, as well as everybody working or standing around at the airport.

Daughter of Sam Nunn, the damn grand-niece of Carl Vinson, the inheritor of Walter George's wisdom. I am disappoint. Just as well I can't vote in Georgia.
