Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

I wish Georgia had public info of party registration like Florida and North Carolina.

That would be difficult because we don't have party registration at all.

7pm EDT.  It used to be the case that polls in Atlanta were open an hour later than the rest of the state, but I don't think that's true anymore.

I'm shocked, shocked, that Perdue lost.

He conceded?

[Independents for Nihilism]

Purdue didn't just lose, he was properly humiliated and rightly so. He went from a sitting senator to a total joke with no political cachet in under 18 months. What a pathetic way to end a career.

Democrats know Kemp is one of their own. That's why Democratic county clerks in DeKalb and Fulton and other Democrat counties rigged it for Kemp.

Would love to see how Trump thinks of all this

[Roll Roons]

There are apparently a decent number of people who voted for Kemp, Raffensperger and MTG. I don't know anything anymore.

[Podgy the Bear]

Raffensperger's performance has been the big surprise.  I was thinking that he might be lucky to get in a runoff, but so far, there's a real chance he could win this outright. 

Hice is winning his district (GA-10), but that's about it.  Raffensperger is doing rather well throughout the state.

[emailking]

Not called but that Raffensperger lead looks awfully safe.

[Gracile]

There are apparently a decent number of people who voted for Kemp, Raffensperger and MTG. I don't know anything anymore.

...So, people who just vote for incumbents? This is not as unusual as you are making it out to be.

I'm sick and tired of the SOS changing tiny aspects of the format every 2 years despite using the same online interface. Apparently now, there's no easy way to see vote breakdowns by type of vote cast (ED, AIP, ABV, provisional)? Ugh

[Adam Griffin]

For what it's worth, ED votes are 80% R, 20% D at the moment. Hang on for the next few hours...

But what this does likely mean is that GOP statewide primaries aren't probably likely to favor Trump-aligned candidates going forward. Doubtful most numbers are going to get any better given where the turnout right now is coming from...

30 minutes later: now at 73% R, 27% D.

Just to illustrate lagging votes: both Dekalb and Fulton are basically only 60/40 in favor of Ds at the moment. Cobb, Chatham and Gwinnett are currently statistically tied.

[emailking]

Yeah Raffie's got this.

He's got it outright.

lol

[Cassandra]

As someone who once lived in Hice's district, I cannot describe how thrilled I am to see that imbecile losing to Raffensberger.

[Adam Griffin]

Raffy getting 49.90% currently in Whitfield County (compared to Hice's 36.74%) - whew. There's still possibly a chance he falls below the runoff threshold (more D-leaning turf is outstanding, which means fewer Ds crossing over to vote in GOP primaries than vice-versa compared to statewide figures - which may lower his advantage).

Even if he does fall below 50%+1, unless it's a Cagle-type situation, he'll win a runoff easily.

[Adam Griffin]

Chris Carr (Atty Gen; 1 of the 4 GAGOP hated by Trump; Kemp, Raffy, Duncan & Carr) is basically winning 3/4 of the GOP vote, lmao. If Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan stood down from running again because he was afraid of losing, well, he made the wrong bet!

Looking like Trump will get 1 of 4 potential wins statewide in GA (Lt Gov): the only one that's an open seat!
