Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

Bit of a wild shot here; but might she be beating Casey Cagle? Cagle doesn't have the same appeal to the Trumpy rural base as Kemp, who brilliantly played identity politics, and generally in the primary came off as an ass. He may have done better in the suburbs though, but then again Democrats are doing well in the suburbs overall this year. It's hard to tell, and I may be completely off with this-thoughts?

Looks like around another 4k ballots have been counted since noon yesterday. Of those, there are 2,538 additional provisional ballots that have been counted. This is enough to round Kemp's total to the tenth down to 50.2:

50.24% 1,977,502  Kemp
48.82% 1,921,680  Abrams
0.95%   37,206      Metz


Of all provisionals cast and counted:

72.05%  7,052  Abrams
27.13%  2,655  Kemp
0.82%    81      Metz

Damn victory is so implausible yet so close at the same time.

Kemp is and always will be an illegitimate Governor.

How?

The only reason he avoided a runoff is through massive voter suppression.

That poster prefers to be willfully ignorant about the calculated actions of the GOP to keep “unfavorables” from voting. Don’t even bother with her.

Of course, he's a Reasonable Pragmatic Republican. Reasonable Pragmatic Republicans' motto has always been "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

RFKFan68's beloved Stacey Abrams lost. Given his nastiness on this forum, towards me and towards many others, I am actually glad that she did. Her classless concession speech only further confirms that impression with me. And once again, my gender has been confused...

Wow, someone not just rolling over after an election got rigged against them and an Atlas poster(who is a good poster imo) getting under your skin is enough to make you oppose a candidate. Not you know, whether their policies would improve people's lives(yes), or any substance of the issues.

Somewhat surprised Raffensperger only won by 4. Guess Democrats may have had an actual shot here if things had gone a bit differently.
