    Un giro demócrata en Georgia

    AdvertisementContinue reading the main storySupported byContinue reading the main storyOn PoliticsUn giro demócrata en GeorgiaWarnock derrota a Loeffler en Georgia, y Ossoff lleva impulso al contarse los últimos votos.6 de enero de 2021 a las 09:26 ETRead in EnglishEs miércoles, y esta es tu guía sobre política. Inscríbete aquí para recibir On Politics, nuestro boletín en inglés, en tu bandeja de entrada de lunes a viernes.Cómo están las cosasEl reverendo Raphael Warnock ha ganado su desafío a la senadora Kelly Loeffler en Georgia, convirtiéndose en el primer senador negro electo en la historia del estado, y posiblemente ayudando a los demócratas a tomar el control del Senado cuando Joe Biden asuma la presidencia.El destino de la cámara alta sigue indefinido, ya que aún no se ha anunciado un ganador oficial en la otra segunda vuelta de las elecciones al Senado por Georgia, entre David Perdue y su contrincante demócrata, Jon Ossoff.Sin embargo, dado que la mayoría de los votantes lo hacen de manera consistente por dos candidatos de un mismo partido, Ossoff parece tener buenas posibilidades de unirse a Warnock en el podio de ganadores una vez que se cuenten todos los votos. En esta página puedes seguir los resultados finales tal y como se van anunciando.Incluso una vez que se declare un ganador en la disputa entre Perdue y Ossoff, la historia puede no estar completamente terminada. Si la elección se decide al fin por menos de medio punto porcentual, la ley de Georgia dicta que el candidato que quede en segundo lugar podrá solicitar un recuento.Sin embargo, los funcionarios dijeron ayer que estarían listos para realizar un recuento rápidamente, en particular después de pasar por tres recuentos distintos después de las elecciones generales, ya que el presidente Donald Trump y sus aliados impugnaron repetidamente los resultados.La historia de las elecciones de Georgia giró en gran medida en torno a la participación de los votantes negros, que constituyeron un porcentaje más alto del electorado que en las elecciones generales de noviembre. Y deja abierta la cuestión de hasta qué punto los esfuerzos de Trump por desacreditar los sistemas de votación en Georgia perjudicaron a su propio partido.Más de 1,2 millones de votos fueron emitidos en persona el día de las elecciones, lo que superó las expectativas de los funcionarios. Se esperaba que el día de las elecciones la alta concurrencia a las urnas jugase a favor de los republicanos, pero suficientes demócratas votaron ayer para evitar que Perdue y Loeffler sacaran ventaja. Como en las elecciones generales, quienes votaron anticipadamente se inclinaron más hacia los demócratas.Perdue superó a Loeffler por decenas de miles de votos, lo que refleja su índice de favorabilidad ligeramente más alto, pero al final ambos candidatos parecían estar en camino de terminar muy por detrás de la única otra republicana en la boleta para un cargo estatal, la comisionada de servicios públicos de Georgia, Lauren McDonald Jr., conocida como Bubba, quien fue reelegida ayer.Loeffler había atacado agresivamente a Warnock, especialmente en los últimos días de la campaña, pero Perdue los pasó en cuarentena después de haber estado expuesto al coronavirus la semana pasada.Ninguno de los dos titulares parecía capaz de escapar a las preguntas que se avecinaban sobre su actividad bursátil, un tema en el que ambos demócratas habían insistido a cada paso de la campaña. Tanto Perdue como Loeffler se deshicieron de grandes cantidades de acciones en la fase inicial de la pandemia del coronavirus, antes de que el público se diera cuenta de lo mucho que dañaría a la economía. Ambos senadores fueron investigados por el Departamento de Justicia, aunque finalmente no se presentaron cargos contra ninguno de ellos.El vicepresidente Mike Pence le dio la noticia a Trump anoche de que no podría entregarle un segundo mandato presidencial cuando el Congreso se reúna hoy, dijeron personas al tanto de la conversación.Trump ha afirmado sin fundamento que Pence podría bloquear por iniciativa propia la certificación de los resultados del Colegio Electoral una vez que el Congreso los haya aprobado, pero Pence le dijo ayer que no tenía ese poder.Loeffler y otros 12 senadores han dicho que se unirán a varios republicanos en la Cámara para impugnar los resultados. Pero los líderes republicanos del Senado —y, no hace falta decirlo, el liderazgo demócrata de la Cámara— han indicado que se opondrán a cualquier movimiento para evitar la victoria de Biden.Los resultados de Georgia irán apareciendo a cuentagotas, así que prepárate para hoy tener la atención dividida entre los últimos miles de votos que determinarán el destino del Senado y los últimos estertores de la presidencia de Trump.Y puede que tengas que dividir aún más tu atención, si las protestas de la derecha en las calles de Washington se vuelven destructivas o violentas, como algunos espectadores temen.Los acontecimientos políticos probablemente han desviado la atención de las noticias en Kenosha, Wisconsin, un punto álgido de la carrera presidencial de este año, donde el principal fiscal de la ciudad anunció ayer que no presentaría cargos contra el agente de policía blanco que disparó a Jacob Blake, un hombre negro.El disparo a Blake, que ahora está paralizado de la cintura para abajo, desencadenó protestas y disturbios, lo que llevó a Trump a señalar a la ciudad como un ejemplo de la necesidad de “ley y orden”. El presidente expresó más tarde su apoyo a Kyle Rittenhouse, un adolescente miembro de un grupo armado que disparó a tres manifestantes en Kenosha, y mató a dos de ellos.Un abogado de la familia de Blake dijo que era posible que demandaran. “Estaremos considerando la posibilidad de presentar una demanda civil en un futuro próximo para buscar justicia para Jacob”, dijo el abogado B’Ivory LaMarr.AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

    Officials predict close count in Georgia elections as turnout exceeds expectations

    Georgia officials were bedding in for a long night of vote counting on Tuesday as polls closed in the two critical runoff races that will determine control of the US Senate, and with it the tone and ambition of the Biden administration.Early data gleaned after polls closed across the state at 7pm pointed to exceptionally large total turnout compared with previous runoffs. The two Democratic contenders – the former documentary film-maker Jon Ossoff and the Atlanta pastor Raphael Warnock – are attempting to unseat Georgia’s two incumbent Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively.Tell-tale signs also suggested that the count could be close and potentially drawn out over hours or even beyond Tuesday night.Throughout Tuesday, polling stations across the state reported a steady stream of voters who defied a devastating surge in coronavirus infections in Georgia to vote in person. Individual Georgians went to extreme lengths to take part in what have been described as elections that could set the course of America for a generation.Tyler Perry, the Atlanta-based actor and film-maker, flew back to the city to cast his vote after he failed to receive an absentee ballot.According to state election officials, the number of Georgians who had cast their votes in advance of election day – either through absentee ballots or by early voting – reached 3.1 million. That, on its own, smashed the standing record set in 2008 for a Senate runoff in Georgia which attracted a total of 2.1 million voters.By the time the final votes are counted, election officials suggested the total might reach almost double the 2008 record.The enormous electoral energy swirling around the runoffs was reflected in key counties where the results of both races could be won or lost. Dekalb county, which covers the eastern suburbs of Atlanta, saw turnout on Tuesday exceed even that of the presidential election day in November.For participation in runoff elections to surpass that of a presidential race was extremely rare, and was welcomed as a positive signal by Democrats given that Biden soundly defeated Trump in Dekalb county by 83% to 16% in November. However, a similar story of large turnout was also being told in key Republican-leaning counties, such as Forsyth county and Cherokee county where long lines were witnessed outside the polling places.Stacey Abrams, who has been seminal in building a Democratic ground game through her group Fair Fight, told CNN shortly before the polls closed that the steady turnout indicated high levels of voter interest all through the state. But she added that both parties appeared to be attracting voters in large numbers, pointing to a close battle.“We haven’t seen the deluge. We see a very steady flow of voters on both sides of the aisle, which indicates it’s going to be a very tight race,” Abrams said.Massive turnout across early, absentee and election-day voting was a reflection of the exceptionally high stakes of the two runoffs. Their outcome will determine which of the two main parties controls the US Senate.Democrats need to win both races if they are to balance the chamber at 50/50 seats across the aisle. An even split would hand Kamala Harris, the vice president-elect, the deciding tie-breaker vote and with it the ability to shape the Senate’s legislative program.The president-elect himself summed up the high stakes on the eve of election day at a rally in Atlanta. He told the crowd that “one state can chart the course not just for the next four years, but for the next generation”.Fears of trouble or even violence outside polling stations appeared not to have materialised. Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, told CNN that “we have never seen an election is more secure and has had more integrity.”His fellow Republican official, Gabriel Sterling, said that incidents of difficulties with voting mechanisms were passingly few. At a press conference, he said that only 0.1% of scanning machines across the state had failed to work while 0.02% of counting machines had to be replaced.Cutting across both parties herculean efforts to get their supporters to the polls on Tuesday was the mercurial influence of Donald Trump. The president continues to refuse to concede defeat in the presidential election, and has persisted in a campaign of falsehoods targeting Georgia with unfounded claims of voter fraud.Trump lit a fuse under the double runoffs on Saturday when he called Raffensperger and tried to cajole him into overturning the certified results of the presidential race. The conversation was taped and leaked, and has led to calls for Trump to be prosecuted for election crimes.The president’s antics have left some Republicans in Georgia fretting that his claims that his victory was “stolen” would dissuade party supporters from turning up at the polls on Tuesday. But it remained to be seen just how much impact his incendiary interventions would make, and in what direction.The Republican contestants have attempted to move beyond Trump’s baseless complaint about the presidential count and focus their campaigns on what they have depicted as the “radical socialism” of their Democratic rivals. The airwaves have been flooded with unprecedented numbers of political adverts on both sides, with the campaigns of the four candidates jointly splurging more than $833m on the state according to the Center for Responsive Politics.Nonetheless Loeffler, the richest member of the Senate who also prides herself as being the chamber’s most conservative, has announced that she will vote to challenge the electoral college results at a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
