Representative Doug Collins, R-Ga., Told Fox & Friends Weekend that the results of Georgia’s Senate runoff run on Tuesday depend on voter turnout.
Early and absentee voting has been strong in typically Democratic areas of the state, and Republicans are counting on strong participation on election day to push Sens holders. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue to the top.
Collins predicted a “very fierce race”.
“I think what matters now is participation on January 5 on Tuesday,” he said. “And I believe that is when the conservative voices that normally vote on election day will come out.”

Republicans who choose not to vote will only help elect Democrats whose values do not align with those of Georgia, Collins said.

“Georgia understands what is at stake here,” he said. “You have Jon Ossoff, who is a socialist with a trust fund. You have Raphael Warnock, who is a pastor who believes that abortion is OK. There are things that are really contradictory to the conservative lifestyle in Georgia ”.

“People want to be sure that their election and their vote are important,” he continued. “Not voting is letting the Democrats win this discussion … We need to make sure that our voters attend.”
