The historical election of 2008 is not over! The voters in the state of Georgia are going to the polls on December 2nd to decide the senate race between incumbent Saxby Chambliss and challenger Jim Martin. Strong voter turnout in the general election resulted in 3,752,576 votes for Senator, but no single candidate captured the required 50% + 1 necessary for victory, Senator Chambliss receiving 49.8%. Turnout in run-off elections is typically very low and some organizations see a chance to make a very big difference in the outcome. AmericanSeniors.org, the conservative advocacy group for seniors, is urging its considerable roster of members to help get out the vote.
Using the well-known practice of “robo calls”, AmericanSeniors.org is contacting members to remind them of the importance of going to the polls on December 2nd. Without mentioning names, they are reminding their constituency of the importance of a big conservative turnout. This senatorial election, along with a recount in Minnesota, is receiving a great deal of attention on a national scale and many groups are trying to influence the results. The balance of power in the Senate has been condensed to two contests, a recount and a re-vote. A super majority of sixty senators hangs in the balance and it all comes down to voter turnout in Georgia.
Why robo calls? It’s quick, relative inexpensive and groups such as AmericanSeniors.org already have a phone list of willing recipients. They use the call to remind their members of topics important to them, such as; taxes, appointment of judges, and social security. This senatorial election in Georgia could be the tipping point in how these and other issues are discussed and resolved for the next two years. By impacting the right voter turnout, AmericanSeniors.org and other groups see a chance to make a very big difference in how the future of American politics is shaped.
