I live in Flowery Branch & there are people going door to door asking who you're voting for in the r

runoff election. AFAIK there are groups representing both sides. They're polite and all, but I just dont like the ideaof them doing it at all. They're probably grumbling to each other about the crabby lady tey just met. I said I'm not answering, & I shut the door.

FWIW, I already requested my absen tee ballot & 'm voting for both Dem. candidates. We MUST win this runoff in order for Joe to be able to accomplish anything at all!

I would have told them I'm voting for Ossoff and Warnock and encouraging everyone I know to do the same.

there is no way I would provide my political inclinations to someone that is doing door to door polling. That information may prove useful to identify targets to intimidate or vandalize. If they are interested in conducting a poll for the local area, then they should contact the people at a public place or by telephone.

I would have politely told them that there are very good reasons why we have the secret ballot in this country. And then I would have shut the door.
