It looks like Warnick is putting it in the bag, The other one blows my mind. 36,000 Georgians split their vote between D and R while voting. This makes no sense to me.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
Yeah that's odd. I'm checking the tracker on CNN's website. 50/50 for Ossoff with 97% in. Warnock's looking better though. Loeffler's just a tad more repugnant than Perdue I guess.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 1:19amIt looks like Warnick is putting it in the bag, The other one blows my mind. 36,000 Georgians split their vote between D and R while voting.

Maybe something racial/sexist to explain the difference between the two results?Kimmelweck wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 1:34amYeah that's odd.

Perdue has the benefit of being related (cousin I think) to Sonny Perdue who was Governor for 8 years and very popular.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 1:34amYeah that's odd.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
Looks like Perdue is (fingers crossed) going down?? Ossoff up about 17,000 votes with 98% of the vote in. It's still within the recount margin at 0.4%...but still wow.

In looking through the county by county returns, I saw that Georgia has a "Jeff Davis" County. Might be time to consider changing that one.

And, as I understand it, the remaining votes come from Democratic-leaning areas.WestwayKid wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 11:03amLooks like Perdue is (fingers crossed) going down?? Ossoff up about 17,000 votes with 98% of the vote in. It's still within the recount margin at 0.4%...but still wow.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
A friend of mine retired recently and decided to go to Georgia to help get out the vote. He's a big numbers guy and we'd chatted about the numbers while he was home a few days for xmas before he headed back. This is what he said to me yesterday afternoon when I asked how things looked.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 11:19amAnd, as I understand it, the remaining votes come from Democratic-leaning areas.WestwayKid wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 11:03amLooks like Perdue is (fingers crossed) going down??

Absolutely hilarious if the difference were crazed Trumpists boycotting to punish the Republicans for insufficient fealty. Everyone in the party knew Trump would knife them sooner or later, yet they lacked the spine or principle to oppose him. And this is what happens.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
If the US has a Dem controlled Senate, then I'm genuinely, I promise you, sincerely delighted at this horrible result. I am so happy at the rate of decline being very slightly slowed. It's the best possible news for my American friends and the world.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 12:45pmAbsolutely hilarious if the difference were crazed Trumpists boycotting to punish the Republicans for insufficient fealty.
