Could this be proof Soros was in Georgia this weekend?

In Georgia, battle of the "Staceys" tests Democrats' future

SOROS PLACES A BET

National liberal activists are lining up endorsements, money and manpower behind Abrams, who is seen as starting with an advantage in a Democratic primary dominated by black voters.

Democracy for America, MoveOn Political Action and the Working Families Party call her campaign a model of how to engage the nation's increasingly diverse electorate.

"Politics is changing in America, and Abrams' path to victory reflects the changing demographics and enthusiasm," said Dan Cantor, national chairman of the Working Families Party.

MoveOn, whose recent endorsement of Abrams marked its first in a 2018 governor's race, said it would mobilize its 125,000 Georgia members as volunteers for her campaign.

Democracy for America is similarly engaging nearly 35,000 members in the state. Officials said the group has already raised nearly $25,000 for Abrams, an unusually high sum for an election still a year away.

A group called PowerPac is organizing a $10 million get-out-the-vote effort with plans to hire people to contact minority voters and use targeted radio, phone and digital campaigns.
