Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[IceSpear]

Another Stacy bites the dust bigly. Can Abrams reverse the curse?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Holy wow this is a train wrecking for Cagle!

You know what they say, third Stacey is the lucky charm.

Huge win tonight for Brian Kemp!  I look forward to him being the next Governor of Georgia after the November Election.

[IceSpear]

It is mildly amusing the NYT has still not called it.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Come on Daddy Duncan!

Shafer is trash!

[Cuca_Beludo]

Kemp under 70%!!!1!1!

Probably waiting for Fulton. Which is stupid since it will have less votes then some of the rural counties.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Man even if Cagle won every single vote in Fulton he'd still lose at this point.

[South Dakota Democrat]

That margin is insane.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Cagle just conceded.

[Oryxslayer]

NYT calls it. They were waiting on Hall - which went for Kemp.

Edit - It was an error, now a very close Cagle lead, same precinct count.

[Maxwell]

This is one of the most embarrassing political flameouts in quite a while. Cagle amassed this giant operation and ran for governor for YEARS only to be exposed as a boneheaded political operator and corrupt RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Trump's endorsement was just a sign of things coming - if Cagle looked like a sure thing Trump absolutely would've endorsed him.

Which GOP candidate is weaker against Abrams?

[ON Progressive]

Another first round leader who is seriously underperforming: David Shafer in the LG race.

Normally people who get 49% of the vote in the first round of a primary easily win in the second round, but he's trailing by 644 votes right now. It'll only get worse because he's down 9400 votes in the election day totals.

[Maxwell]

For most of the last two years Kemp was this close to being the political flame out - he was a very distant second or third in most of the primary polling before he did a horrifying caricature of the media's portrayal of southern people.

The Georgia political pundits say Kemp but after the last few weeks it was looking like Cagle. At this point Abrams is about to run a campaign dragging him on voter suppression and go all in on turning out as many of the 600,000 black Georgians who sit out gubernatorial elections as possible while cutting into the Suburban vote and turning out low propensity non-black POC.

I knew Racist GA Hicks would love Kemp and those ads the second I saw them. The media (along with many liberals) was extremely out of touch by thinking they'd be "controversial" and hurt him, lol.

Cagle taxing Delta after the NRA cost him a lot of votes.  I know a lot of people it pissed off that probably resulted in them voting for Kemp.

True that.

[South Dakota Democrat]

Wow, Kemp has 69%.  I would imagine it would fall somewhat from that, maybe (but maybe not), but that's way more than predicted.

Oh yes when as soon as he got the van out to round up illegal immigrants HIMSELF (him, of course, being a mealy armed government bureaucrat) I figured it was too shameless to lose.

[Landslide Lyndon]

At least Cagle won one county (Stephens).

[Adam Griffin]

I just got home (hate having party meetings on Tuesdays!).

Kemp's margin will fall as the metro core isn't really reporting even yet, but it'll definitely remain in the 60s. Wow - what an embarrassment (and how unfortunate for GA Dems)!

Also: the name "Brad Raffensperger". Learn it: he'll be on par with names like Kris Kobach, and will be the face of voter suppression in GA as it arises to swing state status if Barrow doesn't pull a Hail Mary (which he very well may!).

Also sad to see the 2 better Democratic candidates in GA-6 & GA-7 are losing their runoffs...a lot to still report, though.
