Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[wbrocks67]

Whatever happened to the AJC/UGA poll that was rumored to be in the field?

Maybe Monday? Seems odd though that they stayed out completely if there's no poll.

brad raffensberger honestly is best off running for reelection as an indy and getting dems to stand down, he could deffo win that way

Um, no. LOL. He's trash like the rest of the GOP. Threatening to charge people with a felony for line warming and charge voters if they take food from orgs doing line warming. Not to mention he's come out in support of eliminating no-excuse absentee.

I swear, Republican politicians will do anything - now matter how seriously disgusting - to win. Sometimes, I'm deeply embarrassed to be an American.

Have fun.

The person who took the Perdue picture is black, and is demanding Judd legum take down the tweet or legal action will be taken. Judd legum completely made up the story

LAMO

What is the guy going to do?

...file a lawsuit against someone for reposting a picture?

Will Perdue's quarantine all the way until election day, coupled with not showing up for debate- make him come across as someone constantly "hiding out" or avoiding answering questions (in the case of the quarantine... maybe questions about his view of Josh Hawley's stunt, or specific questions on his stimulus stance, etc)?

Maybe he really is just being responsible- but it just seems like he's probably been exposed to someone with covid before without deciding to quarantine... and if he thought it would help him win, to not quarantine- I imagine he would choose not to (or only for a day or two).  So I'm wondering if this is a miscalculation on his part, in thinking this will help him in some way? (It just seems like the "running out the clock" strategy never plays well in close elections).

[wbrocks67]

Pretty sure that's not a normal way to throw up the number 3.

That's what I brought up a page or two ago... this doesn't seem new, it feels like he's been pretty invisible from the campaign for a while now

The posting of the picture likely falls under fair use so taking legal action would be hard. Second, that's a really weird way of signifying 300 and sounds like an explanation created after the fact. Lastly, some Native Americans identify as white and plenty of black conservatives overlook or subscribe to racism, so the race of those in the picture or of who took it is irrelevant.

That was my immediate thought too.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Wow, what a soothing bipartisan consensus builder and outsider hero of the suburbs, the king of cobb

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Another ad by doomed Perdue whom isn't going to win, Perdue is now losing by more than Loeffler

[Senator Spark]

If Perdue loses, it will ostensibly be due to flip-flopping on checks to upset the fiscal conservatives in the ATL suburbs coupled with not appearing for the debates and quarantining.

it’s the young hip way to do it now a day.  It’s what the kids are doing ya boomer!

lmao at calling that a white power hand symbol. That's the "got your neck" hand symbol, or just a way to show the number 3. Was there really nothing real to attack him for?

[DrScholl]

It really is tiresome how some people try to play everyone for a fool.

[Buzz]

Muh white power









Atlas gets dumber by the day

[Hindsight was 2020]

The sad evil genius of the alt-right adopting 👌 as a slang for white power is that it has both the worlds easiest cover story and it is also easy for people to get falsely accused and thus discredit the whole concept

[Motorcity]

Yep.

What’s killing us is the lack of credible polling

I just don’t take Emerson, surveyusa, trafalgar, etc seriously

Gravis is ok I guess, but even they have pooped the bed at times in recent cycles

Where are fox, cnn, abc/WAPO, Monmouth, Sienna, etc?

Ah yes, the brilliant posters who respectively had Biden up by 16 nationally, up 17 in Wisconsin, Van Drew trailing by 5, and double digits undecided a couple days before the election.

No one had Biden up by 16 nationally. And had that one poll that had Biden up 17 was an outlier. The very pollster said so.

For the most part, the polls were spot on. They correctly predicted 48 states. The margins were off, but that’s called the margin of error.

The truth is, you can’t be 100% accurate when it comes to polls.

oh come on.

The polls were terrible. Every fair minded person admits that.

Yeah polls were pretty bad, especially in swing states. Ironically, the places where polling held up the best were safe blue states + GA. The polling map was eerily similar to the Trump 2016 vs Biden 2020 map, which makes me think polls do a better job at picking up D turnout than R turnout

I just don't like the argument at all that we shouldn't compare results with polling margins, only results with polling OUTCOMES.

Under such logic, a poll showing trump +30 in Ohio is a good poll because it predicted his win.
