Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[GeorgiaModerate]

Ok I'm just going to leave this thread till 7:00 at this point.

That's not much of a delay at this point.

[Adam Griffin]

NBC/CNN have no college degree now at 63%, college degree at 37%. It was 64% a little bit ago.

Don't Democrats do better with voters without a college degree in this state due to the race divide?

'

Historically yes; since 2016, no.

AP exit poll showing black voters making up 32% of all voters.

[SCNCmod]

Watched Fox for a second to get their exits:

Direction of the Country? 36% right direction / 64% wrong direction

Worried about Perdue/Loeffler insider stock trading? 56% yes / 44% no

Most important issue?
Coronavirus 43%
Economy/Jobs 27%
Healthcare 8%
Racism 8%

Perdue’s support of Trump? 44% too much, 9% too little, 47% right amount
Loeffler’s support of Trump? 47% too much, 9% too little, 44% right amount

Ossoff trust worthy & honest: 50/50
Perdue trust worthy & honest: 46/54

Warnock trust worthy & honest: 52/48
Loeffler trust worthy & honest: 44/56

Trump’s handling of 2020 election results: 44% approve / 56% disapprove
Raffensberger’s handling of 2020 election results: 59% approve / 41% disapprove

Confident votes were counted accurately in 2020 election? 62% yes / 38% no

Didn't know Fox/AP was doing exit polls for tonight. They are typically better than the Edison ones that CNN, NBC, et al. use.

If accurate, this suggests either Warnock/Perdue or Warnock/Recount.

I think this would suggest Warnock/Ossoff

Sure, ignore turnout in Dem counties and only mention R counties. Sure!

Nothing can stop what is Cumming.

You know, because Forsyth County is trending sharply Democrat and we can't rely on outdated ideas of how certain areas will vote and how turnout in those areas will shape the outcome of the election. Get your mind out of the gutter Atlas!

It’s been two months. I doubt much trending has happened since then lol. It’ll more be decided by turnout and voter attitude.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Am I to assume people are going crazy because this race is looking to be as close as it looked to be for the last 2 months?

[pantsaregood]

If i'm a Dem i would be very careful with higher turnout on election day EVERYWHERE. I remember some of you hyping miami dade numbers on election day.

The general consensus among Democrats in this thread appears to be less "getting hopes up" and more "it is a toss up and anyone predicting a massive D or R win is not making their prediction based on any evidence we have."

[Skill and Chance]

Fulton has EDay at 70k today versus 59k in November

Is everywhere up bigtime, or is Atlanta up more than the state? Only relative turnout matters.

I live in Cumming (actually in the non-urban part of the county, but I have a Cumming address).  Believe me, we've heard all the jokes.

And that makes this thread 118 pages before polls closed!

So it begins.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Atlas has a doomer issue. I know it's obvious but we seem to forget it every time we get an exit poll or a red mirage. Give me a break and don't bemoan how we're screwed until we get some raw votes, okay?

Just the opposite - this site is way way way too optimistic for Dems and if you contradict that you’re ostracized to an insane degree. Sometimes people on this site ignore reality even if it slaps them in the face. “doomers” were a lot closer to being correct then incorrect in November. Everyone on here was talking about a Biden landslide “cOuLd hE wIn TeXaS?!” and “how disappointing will it be if we only get 52 Senate seats?!?!?

LOL that is not true. Doomers were predicting that Kanye West woudl be a massive spoiler, that the postal service would be so slow it would cripple mail-in voting, that white supremacists and militias would block polling sites, that cops would be arresting random people in line in heavily Democratic precincts, that the Supreme Court would just overturn the results in favor of Trump, that state legislatures would send their own sets of electors, and that Trump would just postpone or cancel the elections altogether.

All of those turned out to be about as nonsensical bullsh!t predictions as anything QAnon has forecast.

Crucify me, but I kinda like needles.

Technically, it began on December 14

[Omolloy]

Voters of colour voting 84% for Ossoff? Seems quite high to me

[President Johnson]

The question is whether the percentage breakdown is similar to Joe Biden in November and how many votes Democrats can net out.

True, but slightly less dramatic.
