With planning like the Normandy invasion, Georgia Democrats could secure the 2 million votes needed to win the state in 2020.  How sweet would the peach be if the Democrat presidential nominee won the state and the White House, Stacey Abrams became a U.S. Senator and Dems saw victories on every level.

The liberation of Europe from Hitler’s grasp was a massive undertaking, Operation Overlord, that required comprehensive involvement from every part of the military and occupied locals.  This involvement included overnight parachute and glider landings, naval bombardments, heavy air strikes and a year of intelligence before the amphibious landings.  Many battles were won in the planning and preparation stages. We shouldn’t forget about the Europeans who wanted to be free from the German invaders.

Of course, turning the tide in World War II is more significant than an election.  However, taking the White House from President Trump is important.  Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu once said “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”  Ask Al Gore how important a few votes in south Florida was.  Hillary Clinton would be president if she received 77,000 more votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.  The same number would have made Stacey Abrams governor of Georgia or Andrew Gillum governor of Florida.

Some pundits argue that Stacey Abrams got close without only secondary assistance from the Democrat Party, that Trump won with his own operation rather than the R.N.C. and Obama’s campaign apparatus is currently more effective than the D.N.C.  At times, it seems the Democrats are fighting each other more than the other side.

To me, Normandy style planning could win Georgia for the Democrats if we have different elements playing different roles in different locations.  What works in Atlanta, Albany and Adel is different.  One of the brightest minds in the political arena today is Cliff Albright of Black Voters Matter.  Cliff is a mastermind of bus tours, rallies, voter registration and door knocks.  He is part of a team that “put in the work” that won the Alabama U.S. Senate race.  On the internet and in person, I hear one key element from Cliff: raise national money to fund indigenous groups.

The comedy of errors that is the Democrat Party has a reputation of bringing urban activists to rural areas to teach the locals what is important.  Say what?  You ask us what is important to us and tell us if that is something that can be done.  But, you don’t come to south Georgia with a list of D.C. and Atlanta issues.  2019 should be about issues education and network building.  Complex and considerate voters across the Democrat team know that segments of the team are different in mindset and that is fine.

Jason Carter and Michelle Nunn spent too much money on T.V. to secure the Moderate vote while Stacey Abrams was brilliant with Progressive young voters.  2020 should be about doing both at the same time.  We must work hard and smart because the other side is busy with dastardly techniques and methods.  In World War II, the Navajo code talkers were beneficial in the Pacific theater but we need some code breakers today to break down what the Republicans are saying and doing.  I want my country back.  Make America Great Again.

We should never underestimate the role of the local resistance in the liberation of Europe back then and the current resistance today.  If citizens noticed the little things the other side is doing daily, voting would be automatic.  We also need to have a Churchill style “stiff upper lip” because liberals often baby the citizens.  No, these are the issues and how they impact your family.  Vote.

Normandy would have been a mess if different branches of the military were stumbling over each other.  You do your part and we will do ours.  The Lord knows the beaches needed to be cleared of landmines before the troops came out of the water.

Projectlogicga.com’s part in 2020 is South Georgia from Milledgeville to the Florida line-the 8^th, 2^nd and 1^st congressional districts.  100k more voters in Atlanta and 100k more voters in South Georgia would get us a victory.  Of course, Augusta, Athens and other north of Macon areas should be cultivated.  Military operations like Normandy require cooperation and the checking of egos.  The Democrats failed in Georgia for decades because everyone wanted credit for the coming victory.  Young people parachuted into the South to do campaign work and secure White House political appointments.  Did they respect the established indigenous grassroots groups?

The ultimate objective is getting citizens registered and consistently to the polls to create change, fairness and prosperity. If Normandy involved different elements of the military, we should consider different elements to reach voters.  For example, one household could be motivated by door knocks while another noticed social media information and still another attended a stirring grassroots rally/cookout.  Another person became a regular voter because that person was hit with a combination of the three abovementioned elements.

In Georgia, we might put too much hope in metro Atlanta alone. There is an old campaign adage that states a candidate got the same vote ten times.  In other words, that one voter was reached over and over again while potential voters in other areas were lazily reached only with T.V. ads.

A key to military and campaign success is intelligence and reconnaissance.  The locals know who moves the crowds, what the hot button issues are and who is trusted.
