What websites will have the best (and fastest) data for the election results?
If this has already been posted, can someone just copy and paste it below (which includes all the website  links).
Thank you.

The biggest GOP counties aren't in yet. Calm down guys.

...
B) pretty sure the needle is accounting for that
...

That's what the needle is all about. Is it not?

[ProudModerate2]

Ossoff is below 0.5 on the needle time to doom again everyone

0.6 now

Went to 0.8, but then dropped back down to 0.6 about a minute ago.

[ProudModerate2]

I can't believe Ossoff might pull this off.

My thought yesterday was that the Dems had a small chance of winning just one of the two seats.
It would be amazing to see them win both.
Just wow.

[ProudModerate2]

Perdue wins by 5-10k votes

Oh ... look what the cat dragged in.

[ProudModerate2]

Ossoff at 0.9 on The Needle.

[ProudModerate2]

I think the race are likely to shake out to Warnock +3, Ossoff +2.

That big?

[ProudModerate2]

Congratulations to governor-elect Stacey Abrams on winning the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election and becoming the first black female governor of Georgia.

It could very well happen.
No joking.

[ProudModerate2]

Ossoff +1 on the needle now

Awesome!

[ProudModerate2]

What are Ossoff's chances?

Very good.

Ossoff is now at 74% chance of winning it ... and it continues to climb.
Here is the NYT "The Needle" page ... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/05/us/elections/forecast-georgia-senate-runoff.html

The lying fake news media is trying to steal this election from Jon Ossoff. Us real Americans aren't having it!

[ProudModerate2]

Ossoff is down 19k, not 3k. There was a tabulation error. Perdue still isn't gonna win

It wasn’t a tabulation error, the biggest tranche of remaining GOP vote came in a few minutes after the DeKalb dump.  It actually bumped Ossoff above 95% on the needle.

So is it fair to say that the NYT "Needle" model was taking it into consideration from the start?

[ProudModerate2]

LMAO.
Thank you for that. I gave me a good chuckle.

[ProudModerate2]

Ashamed of my state once again.  Georgia is a blue state now, and its sad we let the country down.

This loss is 100% on Trump.  That Dumba$$ convinced enough people in rural Georgia this was rigged and their vote didn't matter.  Idiocracy!!!!!!!!!!!

SMFH Georgia

[ProudModerate2]

It's over probably. Hawley 2024.

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

[ProudModerate2]

Fox isn't even bothering to cover the election anymore. The election graphics are up, but they've pivoted to guns.

Are you sure they are not talking about Hillary's emails?

[ProudModerate2]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep mentioning Manchin?

As the most moderate Democrat in a Senate controlled by Dems by just 1 vote, he'll have huge influence over what bills can be passed.

I think that concern is overrated.  Democrats want to pass a lot of stuff that would have majority support but Mitch doesn't bring it to the floor.  If they bring stuff now, even if Manchin doesn't go for it, you're likely going to have Susan Collins or others vote yes.

^^ THIS!  ^^

[ProudModerate2]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep mentioning Manchin?

He's the most likely member of the Democratic caucus to object to a piece of progressive legislation in a 50-50 Senate. Biden and Schumer will probably have to cut a lot of deals with him to make sure he doesn't give the Republicans a 51st "no" vote on something like repealing Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

Trump's tax cuts for the rich need to be shot dead on the street and have its body sent to the sun. I've seen actual piles of sh**t that were less full of sh**t than the idea of trickle down working

Shhhhhh. Dont say this too loud.
OSR might hear you and become very upset.

OMG.
I have never seen a turtle move that fast.
It actually startled me for a second.
LOL

[ProudModerate2]

Fox is already helping pushing: voting irregularities... poll observers not being close enough ... etc  (and this is Shannon Beam, not Hannity or Laura or the like)

Are you serious?
How pathetic. Good God!

[ProudModerate2]

Did you get a picture of this from Fuzzy's home (hanging on his wall)?

[ProudModerate2]

Perdue lead now <1,000.

It has been stuck there for some time now.
When we wake-up in the morning, I'm sure we will all have a good smile on our face.

[ProudModerate2]

... Anyways, Ossoff's lead is nearly 10K statewide thanks to another dump from DeKalb.

[ProudModerate2]

Any idea when we might get more vote drops to wrap this thing up for Ossoff?

Gabriel Sterling (a top official from the Georgia secretary of state’s office) says he anticipates that all but a few votes will be counted by 1 p.m. today and that Jon Ossoff will very likely defeat David Perdue.
