I hold one vote in the Georgia Jan 5th runoff election for 2 senate positions that will determine the control of the U.S. senate. Since it appears that out of staters are welcome to join in on the election process, the auction is open to all.
Everyone knows Georgia was on the wrong side of history in the Civil War, they carved a monument to that defeat onto a mountainside.
Less well known is Georgia's lackluster performance during the War of Independence:
"The situation in lowland Georgia was much the same, except that the planters there were even more reluctant to sever ties with Britain. Loyalist sentiment was so strong that, after refusing to participate in the First Continental Congress, the colony sent only one delegate to the Second Congress: a Yankee transplant...
Another Georgian “founding father,” James Wood, became so frustrated with the planters’ early failure to support the war that he returned to his native Pennsylvania and joined the militia there.
A later delegate to the Continental Congress, John Zubly, expressed the Deep Southern point of view to that body in no uncertain terms: “A republican government is little better than a government of devils.”
The British easily recaptured the Deep South at the end of 1778 [...] Having accepted the loss of Yankeedom, London focused on reclaiming Georgia and the Carolinas, rightly judging the Deep Southerners to be tepid revolutionaries. In January 1779 a small [British] invasion force of 3,500 recaptured Savannah without firing a shot and in a few weeks had complete control of lowland Georgia. (Docile Georgia would be the only rebel colony to be formally reabsorbed into the empire, where it would remain for the rest of the war.) "

Chuck U Schumer will offer rim jobs and prostate massages to become majority leader.
He said he learned his technique from 25iq. Interestingly, 25iq also showed Nancy how to give blow jobs, but she won't swallow like he did.
