Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[wbrocks67]

I have some family that works the polls in a small red county in central GA.  They were hoping for 800 people today and so far have 575.  Solid turnout.

It wouldn't surprise me if turnout was much higher today on both sides - still good for Rs overall, of course.

This tells us nothing though - for all we know, 800 could be a very conservative estimate on their end that is easily beatable.

Bad news for the GOP

The The Wall Street Journal just reported that the Georgia Secretary of State says Election Day turnout is light so far....

Could just be expectation setting but if he's being genuine not a good sign for the GOP. Though, TBF, how much does even he really know; isn't most of what he sees as anecdotal as what we see? It's not like he has numbers coming in live.

Interesting, I’ve heard that Fulton county has an average wait time of 0 while Northwest Georgia, which was lagging in EV, is pretty heavy in turnout. I also heard a lot of the Republican leaning suburbs such as Cherokee also have long lines. Maybe Democrats cannibalized their vote?

A colleague of mine in Walton County (between Monroe and Loganville) went to vote at lunchtime and reported zero wait time.

You're gonna have to describe to us if these are D or R counties lol

The runoff has a higher mail return rate than the GE ...

This is an interesting fact, because overall the turnout seems to end up much lower.

[KaiserDave]

Are we actually doing this game

[Blair]

Can we honestly just wait rather than relying on vague & pointless observations?

[Tender Branson]

Wait time 1 minute, light turnout, Republicans not voting ...

I know why:

All the Republicans are planning for tomorrow already, driving to Washington to storm the US Congress building to take the Democrats hostage so that they cannot certify the election !

Apparently the Fulton county vote app is saying this? Grain is salt, Don’t know how truthful it is though

[Blair]

Is there any logic to the view that the Democrats need to have a relatively health lead as if it comes down to less than 5,000 voters there might be enough of these mythical Perdue-Biden voters?

But where have you heard heavy turnout in NW Georgia? That's not what I'm hearing.

Yeah, although it actually straddles the border with Gwinnett County.  One of my in-laws used to live on a street that runs along the county line -- it's actually called Line Street.
