enjoy it. the GOP should have EASILY won this seat. 176,000 votes to count.
it looks like Ossoff is going to win by about 50k. Warnock is going to win by at least twice that.
I would like everyone to go back to the first page of this thread at some point.
Everything Donald Trump touches dies. I read this as "douches ties".

the bump for Perdue was because the final walk in ballots were counted.
there are 93k votes left to count, and my money is on Perdue winning less than 25k of them.

Watching the coverage (MSNBC primarily) it's like watching a close sporting event. Going back and forth, who is going to win. I will be staying up too since I'm too excited / charged up to sleep at this point. The Dems might actually pull it out I hope.

so, the recount standard is 0.5% that means that Ossoff has to win by about 25k votes to avoid a recount. I think he is going to beat that easily.
there is a very good chance this will be over before tomorrow's EV circus.

So, when does the change take effect? If Perdue’s term expired yesterday would he still be allowed on the Senate floor for tomorrow’s shindig? More interestingly, when does Loeffler have to step down if, as looks distinctly possible, Warnock has a lead tomorrow morning that exceeds the outstanding military and overseas ballots? I should’ve been asleep more than an hour ago, btw Riveting stuff.

I have no idea about Warnock, but I would assume the same thing for him.

Huh, I thought Loeffler had declared in favor of EV chaos but Perdue hadn’t specified. I could be wrong.

The election official cited up to 17,000 military votes are expected no later than Friday and legit if postmarked by today.

stick a fork in his ass. McConnell is done.

This AM, it’s just two counties, Forsyth (Atlanta) and Chatham (Savannah) who haven’t counted all their mail in votes. Given that both are solidly blue counties, and the mail in votes skew solidly blue, this will hopefully be enough to push Ossoff into a win. I think it was about 20,000 in Forsyth and about 7000 votes in Chatham. Forsyth said they would wait to count all of them, then announce the final total probably sometime this afternoon.

This amazing flip, changing Georgia blue for both Senators is 100% due to Trump’s behavior in recent weeks. The northern GA counties, who are solidly red, had about 20% less voter turn out compared to the 2020 presidential election - due to Trump’s constant complaints about the corrupt Georgia voting system.
The south western rural counties, which have a large black population, also had a reduced number of voters compared to the presidential election, but in the single digits, and it appears the GOP voters turned out less (the Dem candidates won by a greater margin than in the 2020 election).
Congratulations on Trump successfully slashing and burning the GOP party as he exits the national stage. Bet McConnell is reconsidering his four years of dedicated ass kissing to the man who has single handedly wrecked his party.

Agree that Trump did a lot to take them down...but don’t discount Stacy Abrams and her decade-long effort to turn out the Black vote. I love it. Georgia is going to have one Black and one Jewish senator, because they voted for decent people who want to represent Georgia’s interests instead of a couple of establishment WASPs who want to represent their own. In the Deep South. I can feel my faith in humanity slowly creeping back. Now come on and report those last 73k votes! Fulton’s 4K should be counting now and Dekalb’s 19K starts at 10 am. I think they were expecting to have a fairly solid projection by noon?
