Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

It seems in many of these rural counties Loeffler and Perdue are running just behind Trump, or perhaps even, though with slightly lower turnout.

Some of them the turnout is down more than just slightly... I saw one where turnout was down like 20-25%.

Kornacki said that turnout in Franklin County was down 23%.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

thank god Loeffler got to the runoff. She'd likely perform weaker than Collins would have.

So what non-political things are you guys doing tonight?

These numbers aren't matching the CNN exit polls...

If CNN's numbers were right a lot of these 100% complete counties would have different numbers than last time but few do.

exit polls being wrong is the easiest explanation.

[Alben Barkley]

Still think Perdue and Loeffler are slight favorites. We knew that Dems would likely outperform Biden in the early vote, but the e-day vote is still the big unkown.

Not really seeing as the e-day vote is also being counted, Dems are still largely outperforming expectations or it's a wash, and completed small rural counties show for the most part that R turnout is down and margins are not any better than they were for Trump.

I'll listen to Wasserman thx

Wasserman is a Dem hack and he was wrong about the November election.
That hack is forgetting that the Dem areas also have depressed turnout. For example, Fulton County turnout is at about 86% of November turnout.

86% turnout is great, and I wouldn't call people hacks when you're the biggest one (for Trump) of all time.

It's almost like CNN exit polls are crap or something.

Of course, turnout could also end up down in many of the Democratic counties too when it's all said and done, all those reports about Dekalb aside.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Cobb County taking their time reporting *anything*

[Non Swing Voter]

At this point if Loeffler and Perdue lose it's 100% because of bad turnout in rural areas.

The margins are tracking very closely with the general election but there is evidence of bad turnout in some big rural counties.  If they lose it's 100% on Trump.  Maybe losing the Senate would wake the GOP to the toxicity of Trump.

[Non Swing Voter]

At this point, I think the best hope for Republicans is that the exit polls are right and they do fairly better in the Atlanta suburbs.

They are rigging it for the dear leader Perdue rn

[Alben Barkley]

Douglas County numbers say RIP Perdue, doing several points worse than Trump. So much for King of the Suburbs meme.

I'm a Dem hack too though.

[wbrocks67]

Douglas County: 76% in

Some election day vote still to come, but...

Ossoff 67 - Perdue - 33 (D+34)
Biden 62 - Trump 37 (D+25)

[TopShelfGoal]

It's mind boggling that Loeffler is running only 0.2% behind Perdue. Perdue is atleast a normal Republican, Loeffler on the other hand is total garbage and just an all around awful candidate with no redeeming qualities.

The needle will go red and never go back by 8pm.

Cash it in. It’s gaining interest.

Look, everyone, we've already got one for the well-aged content megathread .

[wbrocks67]

Funny enough, it would be interesting if CNN/Edison was wrong again about the suburbs. IIRC, the national Edison one had Biden just barely winning the suburbs nationally I believe, while Fox/AP had him like +11.
