That's quite impressive! Hopefully, we'll something similar this upcoming fall.

Idrk what this says more about: the fact that Waites got such a large percentage of the vote without having raised almost any money and coasting on her name recognition or Scott doing surprisingly bad in a district where it's arguably one of the districts where it's tougher to give an entrenched incumbent like him a run for their money.

By some miracle, hopefully Waites takes this more seriously and she just might win this.

Bourdeaux is still running pretty strong, holding steady at winning 67% of the mail-in absentees. She's gone from 46.0% -> 47.0% in overall margin from the last 3000 votes added.

Up to 48.7% after Forsyth absentees, seems like I was correct to say the AP called this race prematurely.

Oh wow. If the AP called this many races prematurely here in Georgia primaries alone...

The Georgia GOP must be deeply troubled to have this sort of primary. They can't rely on the national environment here as much as other states thanks to this state's inelasticity/tendency to not closely follow the national environment and that the state's clearly getting bluer by the minute. Just this year alone Democrats managed to flip a good amount of seats not even counting the Senate seats the iconic duo of Ossoff and Warnock flipped.

Kemp would definitely be the underdog against Abrams for reasons that I'm sure don't need to be explained. While I don't see Perdue as particularly bad candidate, he's more of a generic R which I'd imagine won't be enough.

In the end, regardless of whether it's Kemp or Perdue, I think Abrams has the advantage.
