The following transcript was taken from bits of tonight's "run-off" debate between Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler and Democrat challenger Raphael Warnock. I basically just skimmed the debate looking for discussion of the ONGOING 2020 election. It's possible that I missed a couple pieces of context someplace but it should be of no consequence. This is in order, and I did my best to quote the candidates as accurately as I could. I take no accountability for any mistakes made.

The other candidate, Republican incumbent David Perdue, apparently declined to participate tonight. We can safely assume he lacks either the courage, conviction, or both to speak on the rampant voter fraud happening in the ONGOING 2020 election. It's the only position that makes sense. He would rather hide than either be forced to give his opinion and lose votes from his perceived Republican base who don't believe voter fraud is real (They don't exist. They're imaginary.), or not give his opinion and lose the republican's who know voter fraud is real and happening en mass. I suppose it's also possible that David sees this debate as giving false credibility to the MSM narative that vOTeR DoESn'T ExIsT... but I seriously doubt it.

And finally:

The first question of the night by the moderator:

"President Trump opened his election rally last night by falsely claiming he won GA. He didn't. According to certified state election results he lost the state by about 12,000 votes. Do you stand by his narrative that the vote is rigged, and do you support his demand that Governor Kemp to call a special session to seek overturn those results."

Loeffler responds with:

"Well first I want to thank the Atlanta Press Club for hosting this important debate, and look, it's vitally important that Georgians trust our election process, and Trump has every right to every legal recourse, and that's what's taking place. But I have called for investigations, now those 250 investigations open here in Georgia. But the President was also clear, that Georgians need to come out and vote for David Purdue and myself, because of what's at stake in this election. You know, Cuck Schumer said now we take Georgia then we take America. We all know what that change would be they have all been very clear. They all want to raise taxes on hardworking Georgians. They want to defund the police. They want to open our borders. They want to implement the green new deal. I am fighting for every single Georgian to live the American dream, that I was blessed to live."

The moderator presses again:

"Senator do you believe the election was rigged?"

Loeffler:

"Look, Greg, it's very clear there were issues in this election. There are 250 investigations open, including an investigation into one of my opponents organizations. You know, for voter fraud, and we have to make sure that Georgians trust this process, because of what's at stake in this election. You know, that the promise that Cuck Schumer made was to fundamentally change America, and I am making sure that we don't go down the road of Socialism."

A question from the other, female moderator:

"Senator Loeffler, good evening. State election official Gabriel Sterling proclaimed, 'this has to stop'. He was referring to threats against election workers, Governor Kemp, and the Secretary of State, who received death threats. Sterling warned that false claims of widespread election fraud could lead to violence. He said 'someone's gonna get killed'. At his urging, you responded by denouncing the violence, but some didn't think that was enough. So tell us tonight, what is your message to those who would threaten officials, and have you made an effort to help lower the temperature on behalf of the republican party?"

Loeffler responds with:

"Well absolutely. As someone who has been the subject of threats of violence, I absolutely denounce it. But you know, here's what's at stake: The future of our country hangs on this state having free, fair, trusted elections. We've built an organization that it's in our campaign to make sure that Georgians trust this process. And President Trump has encouraged Georgians to get out and vote, because the future of our country is at stake on January 5th. We need folks to trust the process, because that's what makes our democracy possible right here. We've gotta get to the bottom of these investigations that have started too late. There is 250 investigations, including in voter registration organization for the second time for trying to register voters in New York. That doesn't represent the voice of GA. I am gonna fight to make sure that we hold officials accountable for carrying out free, fair, trusted elections that are accurate."

When asked about voter suppression Loeffler says:

"...And you know it's unfortunate that the focus is on a debate about who won the election when this process is still playing out and President Trump has every right to every legal recourse. But we also have to let Georgians know that we have a process that works, that there vote is counted, and that no illegal votes are counted. And that's what I am going to continue to fight for to make sure that Georgians know that everything is at stake in this election: the future of our country..."

When Jon Ossoff (D Challenger) was given the chance to ask Kelly Loeffler questions he asked:

"Yes or No Senator Loeffler, did President Trump win or lose re-election?"

Loeffler:

"You know, Trump has every right to use every legal recourse available. In our own state we've seen time and again that we have investigations that need to be completed. In fact, we've run two audits and those audits discovered thousands of ballots across several counties here in GA that were not counted. I've called for a signature audit. We need to hold folks accountable that are involved in this investigation because everything is at stake January 5th for the future of our country..."

Another question from the female moderator:

"Senator Loeffler, expanding on that last question. Again, President Trump criticized your governor, Governor Brian Kemp. Governor Kemp appointed you to the senate. You have criticized the election process as well. So tonight can you tell us where your loyalty lies as you represent the state of GA. Is it with Governor Kemp or President Trump?"

Loeffler:

"Lisa, my loyalties are with GA. I had a calling to public service to serve the people of GA. Look, I have lived the American dream, I want to make sure every Georgian can do that. From going from working on a farm, from waitressing, being the first in my family to graduate from college, I know that free enterprise is the way to lift everyone up, not socialism, not high taxes, not big government, not open borders, not the chaos of defunding the police that the left wants, not the lockdowns. I am making sure that Georgians know what's at stake on January 5th. Our way of life right here in GA will radically change as promised by Cuck Schumer. Now we take GA, then we take America. That's my number one focus, making sure that Georgians know what's at stake. I have served Georgians every single day, it's been my honor and I am gonna continue to do that."

A follow up by a third moderator (good follow up IMO):

"Well if everything is at stake January 5th that would presume that President Trump has lost. Is that what you are saying?"

Loeffler replies:

"You know what's at stake is the senate majority. This will determine who brings bills to the senate floor. Under the republican senate we have been able to deliver 3 trillion dollars of relief to hard-working American's, hard-hit by this pandemic, to the front-line workers, to the hospitals, to the schools. We have to continue to make sure that we open up economy. The democrats want to keep us locked down. They want to radically change our country. And their agent of change is radical liberal Warnock, someone who wants to reimagine the police as endorsed by defund the police. We know the direction the country would take. And we are going to continue to make sure that our very way of life here in GA, and across the country, is under attack by the left."

And another follow up by the same guy:

"Okay well not to labor the point but all those things you are warning about would not be happening, presumably, with President Trump, So it almost sounds like you are conceding that, that part of it has been settled, and now it's important for the republicans to keep the majority in the senate... to have a dividing government."

Loeffler replies:

"Well I saw first hand that the senate is the shock-absorber in this country, and I saw that first hand when I got to Washington and the impeachment trial started. I saw the Russia hoax, and how that distracted us from addressing this virus. The democrats have doesn't nothing but played politics since day 1. They never accepted that President Trump was President. They were distracted from serving Americans. They were distracted during the pandemic, and now they've used the pandemic to try to fundamentally change this country, and put the cost of big government on the back of hard-working Georgians. That's why I am fighting, to make sure that the republican majority is retained in the senate, because we are the shock absorber for common-sense policies that bring Americans together, that lift everyone up, that provides for great educational choices for kids, that stops the radical agenda of the abortion on demand that democrats want. They want to tax on our second amendment rights. They want to take away our guns, they want to tax guns, and they want to fundamentally change America, Warnock is their agent of change."

Voter fraud was not mentioned in closing statements.

That's all I got. Took me about an hour. I only started transcribing this since I figured there wouldn't be much discussion. Anyway, her responses seem kind of scripted to me, and I feel like she beat around the bush and never flatly stated what we all know to be true. Thoughts?
