Was it expected that Bob Gray would do that poorly in DeKalb EV?

Gray is really unknown outside north Fulton--expect a significant vote here (Johns Creek--my precinct).

Including ev, it's Ossoff at 52.6--just ahead of Clinton, maybe a tick lower than hopes. But turnout is huge.

So far, it looks like Ossoff is easily going to pass the 42-43% they were talking about over the last few days--don't know if he will get to 50%, though.

The Dems prepared very well for the EV drive in all three counties.  I am impressed with the turnout.

Dan Moody (Republican)    8.6%   4,603

Ossoff is crushing it!!
