Misdirected postcard found in Austin unveils stealth campaign for Georgia U.S. Senate election

 An incorrectly delivered postcard found in an Austin mailbox sheds light on a way liberal activists are using out-of-state volunteerism to drive turnout in the Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs. 

It appears a stealthy postcard campaign is responsible for the misplaced mail. The effort is being conducted relatively under the radar, without a noticeable way to trace who is paying for the cards or stamps, no disclaimer on the cards, or information on who offered the manpower to process the cards.

The wayward postcard, discovered this week in a North Austin post office box without a postmark or stamp cancellation, urges a vote in the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff for Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. Ossoff and Warnock are opposed by incumbent Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively.


The recipient requested he remain anonymous. He suspects the card may have been dropped and returned to a random USPS mailbox by a Good Samaritan or it was written locally but was not properly processed by postal employees.

Here are some last-minute resources for 'choosy voters'

According to early voting and polling data, Texas Republican voters are keeping true to their reputation as good closers. 

By week 2 of early voting it seemed there were enough swing voters and Republicans still waiting in the wings to radically affect any outcome. An analysis in The Federalist today indicates that Republicans are narrowly outperforming Democrats in the Lone Star State, with Democratic turnout having actually dropped by around a point-and-a-half.
