Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Roronoa D. Law]

AJC's Greg Bluestein says that Michael Williams campaign chairman was spotted at Norwood campaign result party tonight.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Patrick who do you think is going to win? It looks like Mary is underperforming in Dekalb.

[Holmes]

Might as well just check back in tomorrow morning. Maybe we'll be at 5% precincts reported then.

[Dr. Arch]

Well yeah, it's Georgia.

From what we have so far I see a narrow Bottoms win. While the Buckhead portion is large in area it is very sparsely populated compared to the rest of the COA. Norwood needs to do better especially before SWAT come in.

Is Atlanta like Virginia in that at first the Republican is winning and then begins to slide towards the Democrat?

And Fulton is probably the slowest reporting county in Georgia.

What are your thoughts on tonight, GeorgiaModerate?

I think it will be really close, but if forced to choose I'll predict Bottoms.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

So right now according to https://www.wabe.org/runoff-election-map/

It's Bottoms at 49% and Norwood at 50.9%. Virtual tie.

I hate that all of Fulton votes have to be officiated at the Atlanta office.

The polarization is insane, Norwood is winning some counties in the North with >95% of the vote.

[Mr. Smith]

...This is gonna be GA-06 all over again isn't it?

Narrow Bottoms victory, so no.

Yes, I am surprised it this racial polarized. They tried to tie Norwood to the Republican party but seems to have had no effect. Trump only won 9 precincts in City of Atlanta.

As bad as Lance Bottoms is doing in Buckhead, Norwood isn't faring that much better in the south side either. I think Bottoms is favoured at this point, seeing as the south side has a larger share of the population.

Pretty much this.

Gentrification is really showing in this election. Norwood is winning Grant Park! There was a time when we left the Braves stadium early just to avoid panhandlers.

Mary Norwood going up, now at 51.7% to Bottoms' 48.2%. I'm hoping she can pull out a victory, although I would say that Bottoms is favored at this point for reasons already stated here.

Looks like it’ll be a tight one but Bottoms pulls it out. Glad to see Jen Jordan up as much as she is too.

Agreed. I do not want homophobic Jaha Howard to be my State Senator. Fortunately, it looks like Buckhead is going to pull Jordan over the finish line.

Norwood lead up to 4 points.

What has Howard said about LGBT? I had already endorsed Jordan before hearing this but definitely want him to lose now.

White liberals love minorities! As long as they don't win their local offices and live at least two blocks away.

This describes Cathy Woolard and Peter Aman in a nutshell.

Woolard said Norwood was Donald Trump-lite and would aid in voter suppression and gerrymandering.... then endorsed her when Keisha Bottoms took what she viewed as her spot in the run off.
