Model is projecting a 4-point Handel win, based on fully reporting precincts

[Skunk]

I just look forward to the GOP trying to rub these victories in our faces even though these districts have been solid for decades and yet came within 1-2 points of flipping blue. It's like they are sitting in a burning building.

I look forward to the GOP rubbing these victories in Dem's faces and Dems not changing strategies at all in response.

Meh, let them have it.

It will just make things more hilarious after the mid-terms.

Would be nice to know where the ED precincts that have reported are.

[LimoLiberal]

From the latest politico update:

In fully reporting precincts on June 20, Republican Karen Handel has 48.6 precent of the vote, and Democrat Jon Ossoff has 51.4 percent of the vote. Handel is running 2.3 points behind where Republicans ran in those precincts in April. Ossoff is running 2.3 points ahead of where Democrats ran in those precincts in the primary.


Suggests bad ED results for Handel.

Parnell just lost his lead when all of Spartanburg came in

[Heisenberg]

Say what you want about the New Tork Times, but nothing beats their election results pages and maps.

^^^^

This, but I wish they were as fast as DDHQ with reporting. They're still my main online source, though.

Hasn't DDhq been knocked for reporting inaccurate counts sometimes?

Nah, the initial Spartanburg vote drop was all there was. It was just York County dropping another 10 or so precinct results.

[Dr. Arch]

That SC dump! Archie may have a chance.

[Suburbia]

Take it easy, people. 2018, 2020, and 2022 are a long way from now.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Cherokee County just dropped all of its votes, and Norman now leads by just under 2.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

The more I see the how these olds vote, the less I care about preserving Medicare.

Call me a bad person because of it - I already know.

[MAINEiac4434]

York is absolutely killing Parnell. Just over 1,000 votes in it. All of Cherokee just dumped, a meager swing to the Dems there. All of Chester reported, and it's a 10 point Dem swing.

[BlueDogDemocrat]

Could Parnell actually win?

[Jeppe]

Parnell may still have a chance. Depends on how favourable the last half of the York county returns go. But most of the Republican counties have finished counting, while a few Democratic counties still have ways to go.

My grandma needs medicare in order to treat her diabetes. Shes also a hardcore republican, sometimes I wonder....

I don't think so, but it will be really close.

It's hard to blame anyone for thinking that, tbh. We all know they would revolt if it (Med/SS) was taken away from them, yet they keep voting for the people who literally say they want to take it away from them.

The most common excuse I've heard when asking people about this is that they don't actually believe Republicans would do that. If only they actually paid attention, they wouldn't be chancing their votes for some strange reason.

Could Parnell actually win?

Unlikely but will be much closer than I thought

[GGover]

There goes Union County. Parnell better pray for good results in Lee.

[MAINEiac4434]

Could Parnell actually win?

No, but he's absolutely slaughtered the margins. 2018 will be a good year for the Democrats.

Democrats usually save them from the consequence of their terrible votes. Until they feel the repercussions of their vote, they will never change.
