Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[ultraviolet]

It's over probably. Hawley 2024.

What are you talking about?
You said an hour ago, Pur-doo would win.

He is starting to accept reality. Don't get in the way

[Horus]

It's over probably. Hawley 2024.

Watched Brett Baier interview him today. Not impressive and I'm not just saying that because I hate him. Trumpist Romney charisma wise at best, extremely boring, no oomph. Would not be able to work Trump's magic with secular whites and minorities.

So the Republicans control the Senate until the Warnock and Ossoff are seated.  Is it possible they could refuse to seat them based on fake election fraud allegations?

[brucejoel99]

How fast do you guy think it'll take to certify the results. Warnock's lead seems pretty clear, but Ossoff may go to a recount, though I doubt the ultimate outcome will change.

IIRC it could be as soon as next week if neither are in recount territory & Raffensperger determines that a risk limiting audit isn't necessary.

Yes. He will flop. He won in 2018 because of partisanship alone.

Back up to 3k for Perdue.

Lol I mean

Assuming Ossoff wins, who will be the Junior Senator and who will be the Senior Senator? Forgive my ignorance.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So let's see:

-Trump lost but couldn't accept it and had to alienate voters more and bring out Democrats by being a whiny b!tch for two months.
-Trump proposed one popular thing ($2000 check giveaways) and that's the one thing Republicans declined to support him on.
-Republicans lose the Senate due to Republicans supporting Trump on the former and not bothering with the one thing he supported that could've redeemed them.

Is Trump a character on Peep Show or Arrested Development?

[KaiserDave]

Perdue gets a small boost, but it won't last

[Hindsight was 2020]

Damnit Perdue padded his lead from last drop (he’s still going to lose my “damnit” is due to wanting to go to bed)

Technically they control the Senate until Jan. 20, since Pence is still tie breaker til then.

I've muted MATTROSE94 from the congressional board for 24 hours for trolling.

Ossoff will.

I believe Ossoff because his last name comes first alphabetically

I’ve not been a doomer at all with respect to any of the other possibilities people have floated.  
But this one doesn’t seem unrealistic based on how close the Ossoff race might be, and what just happened in the PA legislature.

[Skill and Chance]

Assuming Ossoff wins, who will be the Junior Senator and who will be the Senior Senator? Forgive my ignorance.

Ossoff will be senior and Warnock will be junior.  For candidates who never held elected office, the tiebreaker is the first letter of their last name.  I'm surprised the tiebreaker isn't vote margin.

*If Ossoff has a recount and Warnock doesn't, Warnock could get seated earlier and end up being senior.

[brucejoel99]

I’ll ban myself for a month and Venmo someone $50 on election night if it goes the Democrats way: Georgia Special, South Carolina, Kentucky

Don't forget to ban yourself too!

I meant that on election night.

But offer still stands is BOTH Dems win.

(Someone would have had to sort out who gets the $50 if it were to happen)

Brucejoel got dibs.

And it's happening, sweetheart

My venmo's the same @ as my Atlas username. I'll be patiently waiting, MM.

Few county updates:

Cobb finishes e-day count: Perdue wins these about 25000-22000
Forsyth adds some mail votes: Ossoff wins these about 2600-2000
Pickens finishes e-day count: Perdue wins these about 1200-350

Perdue up about 3700 statewide, only outstanding R vote pockets remaining are Fulton E-day vote and Gilmer mail, still considering D chunks remaining (DeKalb early/absentee, Fulton absentee, Henry absentee, other mail scattered throughout the state

Ossoff will.

Alaphabetical order is the tiebreaker

[Omolloy]

Assuming Ossoff wins, who will be the Junior Senator and who will be the Senior Senator? Forgive my ignorance.

Ossoff, because his surname alphabetically comes before Warnock's. It's the the last of 7 tiebreakers, but the others are based on past state and federal experience, for which neither of them have any.

The unrest and sh1tstorm this will unleash upon Republicans will not be worth it and McConnell knows it.
