It's a gerrymandered Republican district. A Republican state Senator said as much.

So why'd you think you'd win it?

Did anyone ever say it was a guaranteed win? It was a worth a try. The point is, Handel was not an underdog who won a heavily Democratic district as Republicans are trying to claim. GA-6 is not a Democratic district.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this comes pretty close, no?


Also pretty sure you were dismissing the polls showing Handel ahead as "fake news".

Based on the independent polling, I said this. CSPPolling is indeed fake, no matter what the outcome of this race is. Clearly, there was a shift between the polling that showed Ossoff leading, but even so, it was never a guaranteed win. It's really not that serious, though. I'm not going to die over Ossoff losing the race.
