Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[Ancestral Republican]

Next to Crenshaw and Poopypants Bennett, C.J. Pearson is the right's dumbest grifter.

This is as much Stacy Abrams night as it is Ossoffs & Warnocks.

This forums' complete turnaround of her in the last 2 years (Particularly the last 6 months) has been even more fascinating to watch than the actual races.


From being raked over the coals by for not conceding over voter suppression concerns to being criticized as being "too ambitious" for wanting to be Biden's running mate.

From gleefully mocking her MSNBC appearance with Biden to now championing her as a forebearer of Georgia Democrats and a potential candidate DNC Chair

I really liked Abrams prior to election night 2 years ago... at which time I was momentarily turned off by her quasi-concession speech.  But then I quickly warmed back up to her (chalked election night up to her being totally deflated due to coming so close after so much work strengthening the Dem party). 

And certainly, my respect for her continued to grow as I became more aware of just how effective she has been in helping turn around the Dem Party in GA.

Based on the reaction she got during the Biden veepstakes, you'd have thought she was 2nd to Bernie as the most hated Democrat among Democratic circles.

A lot of folks fighting back attacks of Harris for being "too ambitious" were more than happy to use that same attack on Abrams.

She got quite a bit of unfair treatment in the last year. As long as Georgia grows bluer and Democrats keep winning statewide, I'm never gonna forget that

Comparing Warnock to Louis Farrakhan? Not surprising to me at all-as I've noted before, Loeffler tried to paint him as Jeremiah Wright 2.0, an effort which backfired on her, as the high black turnout in Georgia testifies. And over at RRH Elections (https://rrhelections.com/index.php/2021/01/05/2021-georgia-senate-runoff-liveblog/#comments) they're having a meltdown as well over this outcome.

Siegfried Kelly Loeffler's disgusting race-baiting campaign is a genuinely dark chapter in the history of American electioneering. Thank God it failed.

Ugly on the inside and out.

NBC calls for Warnock.

[Crumpets]

NYT now has Ossoff up and also has it as "very likely Ossoff."

[AndyHogan14]

NBC CALLS IT FOR WARNOCK!

[anthonyjg]

Relatively small dump from DeKalb compared to what they have left, but they break about 5400-500 in Ossoff's favor, so he leads statewide now.

Here is how Perdue can still win:

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

DDNN PROJECTION: JON OSSOFF HAS DEFEATED FMR. SEN. DAVID PERDUE! DDNN RACE CALL AT 01:48 ET!

[Adam Griffin]

Ossoff ahead by 3,560 / Warnock ahead by 40,575.

[Santander]

This looks like fraud to me. The same thing that happened in November.

I would agree. But what's also revealing is that many of the posters there are calling Warnock a "wife-beater" and implying that he's an anti-American, radical demagogue. I'm happy that he was able to overcome these insinuations. And now, Loeffler will never hold political office after this. She'll be able to sink back to her basketball team, her mansions, and her stock trades.

Unclear if this 19k includes votes from last batch or not, but would towards not given the previously reported absentee totals in the county.

Kornacki is basically saying it's over in the Ossoff race but he can't.

Also, it's funny seeing right-wingers calling Trudeau a beta male. I'd love to see them in a boxing ring with Trudeau--and for context:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmUnNOuww90

Buuut he's a feminist so that makes him a beta male. Never mind that he once pummeled a former bouncer in the boxing ring.

Edit: Oh btw, a couple years after the charity boxing match, Patrick Brazeau pled guilty to domestic violence. Makes it all the more rewarding to see him with a bloody nose.

How could anyone have voted for Dem Senators and a Republican Public Service Commissioner?

Clear the Democrat Brian kemp stole this election!

I'm glad NBC finally called.

I know why they do it, but I get tired of news outlets having to act dumb/confused as to why a leading candidate like Warnock would even consider declaring victory before an official protection

Just found out Lauren McDonald is a man, what's with southerners with feminine names?

For all the hand wringing about polls, the polling averages were actually pretty spot on this cycle.
