Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[President Johnson]

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

Make her DNC Chair.

[wbrocks67]

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%

Election Day is already coming in in counties that have reported so far...

[Xing]

No one's saying this is over yet. Perdue and Loeffler could still win (Perdue has a slightly better chance), but Democrats do have reason to be cautiously optimstic. Still a long way to go, obviously.

[MillennialModerate]

Two words and the second one is mirage

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.

Fair

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

This thread has been such a roller coaster in the last 90 minutes.

Red-hot doomerism, red-hot optimism, optimistic pessimism, pessimistic optimism and now red-hot hesitancy.

Basically, just another Atlas livethread in 2020 2021

[Pericles]

Maybe I overestimated how much candidate quality would matter. Probably because the people I thought would be Warnock-Perdue voters ended up voting Warnock-Ossoff instead. We don’t have full results though.

[ProgressiveModerate]

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).

Georgia deserves the MVP prize IF Democrats pull through on both these races.

Might just be whatever method the NYT uses for uploading data, but it seems like votes for the Ossoff-Perdue race get reported before Loeffler-Warnock race. The numbers have been leapfrogging each other. Either that or more people voted in the former than the latter, but that would be strange.

Seriously.  She needs to be rewarded for this in some form.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Perdue is an empty suit alright and all the Rs had him winning

It's almost like when Trump isn't on the ballot, Rs don't show up as much.

Who could have predicted this???

Stacey Abrams should be chief Democratic strategist for the whole country. Her talents would be wasted as merely the governor of Georgia.

[It's Perro Sanxe wot won it]

Boy would I pay to see Mitch McConnell’s face right now

[wbrocks67]

A few votes in in Cherokee (~2000), looks to be about 76-24, but not sure if that's E-day or early.

[Rand]

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

Yeah, you guys. Calm down or Jon Ossoff is gonna roll up his sleves, undo his belt, and give us all a real good spanking.

[forsythvoter]

I'm running some numbers right now, but the math is starting to get tricky for Loeffler unless the metro Atlanta election day numbers just really outright favor the GOP. It's a bit more plausible for Perdue but still would have to defy the trendlines so far in the counted election day vote. DeKalb is only 27% in, and Athens, Augusta, Savannah, Albany and the rural black belt is almost entirely unreported.

The good news for the GOP is Cherokee, Forsyth, Coweta, Bartow and Walton are largely still out and between them the GOP could net 150k votes, but Warnock and Ossoff are up by 190-200k votes already.

[The Free North]

Well predictit has flipped now and quite considerably.

Quite a shame. The last thing the country needs is 1 party domination at the federal level, divided government would have been so much better.

What monster will we have in 2024 now.

I was thinking it’s more they didn’t show up because they thought the election was stolen and that there is no point in voting.

[Florida Man for Crime]

I have decided that the election is over. No more vote counting, these are the final results. Thank you everyone, you can all go home now.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Boy would I pay to see Mitch McConnell’s face right now

If these leads hold up, you can bet McConnell will be cursing Donald Trump.

[Crumpets]

Boy would I pay to see Mitch McConnell’s face right now

I can say pretty confidently it looks something like:

[KaiserDave]

STOP THE COUNT

[musicblind]

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

He is exceedingly handsome.

Yes because 2 years of obstruction during one of the worst economic and health crises we've ever faced would be a good thing. . .
