Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[Progressive Pessimist]

Trump’s ego may have doomed Republicans, it would have been much better for then if he’d just sucked up the loss and shut up. Hopefully Republicans start to turn on him if the result of his presidency is a Dem trifecta.

Also denying the reality of a Biden presidency may have backfired. If they had accepted a Biden presidency and the potential for him to have a trifecta, that could have been a great way to rally their voters against that prospect.

Still though, as good as things are looking, let's still not get ahead of ourselves on this.

If Ossoff wins tonight I’m gonna have to roll up my sleeves and undo my belt and give him a real good spanking.

Take a number, I'm Jewish so I get first dibs

DOUBLE BONK!

Kornacki showing Henry County with a 2:1 Warnock/Ossoff lead.  Incredible and shows the dramatic tilt to the Democrats in such a short time.

Two words and the second one is mirage

Two words and the second one is "you."

[It’s so Joever]

Please don’t celebrate yet.

Will Georgia Republicans start thinking the runoff system no longer benefits them? It would be great if their selfishness gets them to pass IRV-which probably would have been the best system for Perdue at least.

I'll actually partially second you on this. This is still anyone's game, but if e-day vote is more R than expected, things could quickly change, though as more 100% rural counties come in, that is seeming less and less likely.

[Illini Moderate]

It *looks good right now, but there could still be a switch. lets not get over confident

[W]

Remember 80 minutes ago and "muh exit poll?"

[wbrocks67]

Slightly worrying that Cherokee has no vote in yet.

[MillennialModerate]

Let's not forget this still isn't a done deal for Ds by any means.

This is the reverse of November.

MAgA’s we’re getting there red hats in a tizzy at this time in November.

We’re repeating the same mistake. Election Day is going to be decisive which is nuts considering it’s only 28%

This thread has gone from doomers to horny in a disturbingly quick timeframe

I really would not mind seeing Jon Ossoff naked.

TRIPLE BONK!

Good gods, Atlas!

[ProgressiveModerate]

Love how in one page everyone suddenly went to dooming despite nothing bad happenning.

[Alben Barkley]

Can we send Stacey Abrams to Florida, let her fix the state party there?

[MillennialModerate]

Please don’t celebrate yet.

Good luck with that request.

Two words: first is premature

Yeah, as far as we can tell, in the completed counties so far, Dems are still doing better or e-day turnout is not what it needs to be for GOP. But still time left...

[Florida Man for Crime]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wut

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Niemeyerite]

OMG if dems really win these 2 races, tomorrow it'll be so sweet to watch republican senators whining for hours and hours, knowing that soon they'll be in the minority.

Also, Stacey Abrams should get some prize after this election cycle if she delivers GA for dems in the 3 races that matter. Maybe pack the Supreme Court with her sister and whoever she chooses (at least).

[Flo 2.0]

everyone in this thread is getting sent to horny jail

[Non Swing Voter]

Rockdale is 100% in.  Turnout looks down a lot but Dems improved their margin well over Biden's.

This isn’t entirely related to your question about Election Day voting, Micah, but I found it rather mind-boggling, so here we go. This was from ABC News as of 6:00 p.m. ET tonight, but the total early vote included 123,079 people who did not participate in November’s general election, which is 35,000 more votes than the margin that separated Perdue and Ossoff the first time around.

To be clear, that doesn’t mean these voters will break Democratic — but so far, the early vote has been quite good for Democrats. I really want to get a better sense of what Election Day turnout looks like and how that complicates this picture. But in the meantime, who are these voters who voted in the runoff but not in the general?
