GA-6 Special election discussion thread

[Umengus]

In the end, no surprise.

statistically it is a surprise, just not enough to push the coup through.

some polls had Osoff between 44-48 so...

[NeverAgain]

Ossoff now at 50.1%

Yeah it seems only DDHQ has that number. Not even the SoS has that.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Precincts reporting, according to SoS (Green: fully reported; Yellow: partially reported)

Is DeKalb done?  

Oh no did the GOP voted to remove dekalb out the district just now.

[ApatheticAustrian]

some polls had Osoff between 44-48 so...

yeah and that fact is a surprise. means trump's bad luck rubs off.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

So much for the #resistance.

 Will Ossoff (D) finish tonight higher or lower than the 46.8% Clinton won in #GA06? I'm starting to think it could be...lower. It's close.

Ossoff now at 50.1%

Yeah it seems only DDHQ has that number. Not even the SoS has that.

NYT has it now.

[The Other Castro]

Jon Ossoff (Democratic)    50.1%   67,784
Karen Handel (Republican)    18.2%   24,655
Judson Hill (Republican)    10.0%   13,544
Bob Gray (Republican)    9.7%   13,056
Dan Moody (Republican)    8.5%   11,464


With 88% of Cobb, 95 of DeKalb, and 16% of Fulton reporting.

[Matty]

Dave wassemrna saying ossof will finish close to hillary's 46.8, possibly lower.

[Umengus]

The gop machine is going to unleash hell in next 2 months...

[Jeppe]

So Fulton will decide whether there's a run-off or not..

[ApatheticAustrian]

Looks like Ossoff's percentages are starting to line up almost precisely with Clinton in 2016. This is good for Handel but bad for Trump.

[Progressive]

I mean....maybe there's hope. With th most conservative parts in, Ossoff is at 50.1%?

[BuckeyeNut]

So much for the #resistance.

This is a buffoonish post. Much like is the KS-4th, Dems should not be doing this well. Yes, Clinton did well, but Price won in a landslide.

[DrScholl]

There is zero guarantee that a Republican will win a runoff. This race shouldn't have even been competitive for a Democrat to even make the runoff, yet it is. The runoff is very winnable for Ossoff.

[Suburbia]

This looks like it is heading towards a runoff.

[Adam Griffin]

Precincts reporting, according to SoS (Green: fully reported; Yellow: partially reported)

Is DeKalb done?  

It's 95% reporting now, but it's not on the map because it's not loading up for me on SoS for some reason.

The ignore button is a good idea for that poster, as well as krazen.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

I called this, just as I called the Presidential race. Greed and bigotry reign supreme in this nation, and it's only going to get worse and as they continue to control the narrative. In 20 years, "liberal" and "progressive" will be as poisonous as "Communist".

[Progressive]

So much for the #resistance.

I'm confused. If Nita Lowey's seat in NY was vacated and the Republican came close to 50% would that not be considered a big disappointment for Dems?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Ossoff went up to 50.7%

[Pragmatic Conservative]

I mean....maybe there's hope. With th most conservative parts in, Ossoff is at 50.1%?

Very unlikely he is underperforming his targets by too much in Dekalb and Cobb

[McGovernForPrez]

A lot of the remaining Cobb precincts should go to Ossoff by very large margins so I don't think things can be ruled out yet. This isn't KS-04. Ossoff isn't guaranteed to keep falling here.

[ApatheticAustrian]

fulton finally moving?


edit: 100% dekalb.

[LimoLiberal]

Ossoff rapidly running out of places to keep him above 50% in #ga06
https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/854512006166085636

Now thinking Ossoff will end up somewhere between 44% and 48%.

In the end, no surprise.

I remember these guys saying Thompson was guaranteed a double digit loss last tuesday.
This guy in particular is really grating on me... his whole twitter feed is BREAKING: REPUBLICANS SIGH OF RELIEF and HIGHER TURNOUT DESTROYS DEMOCRATS
