Old: Mega Hendriks Speculation Thread
Outside of that one outing against us where we got 4 runs off him, that rain delay game, and the playoff game against the Yankees, Hand was really really good.

Some people will sell their soul for a $200 tax break, but get on their moral high horse when poor people are about to get $2000 for free.

2020 Election Thoughts
Looking at the voting trends, Trump and the GOP really fucked themselves. Democrats outperformed everywhere they needed to. Ossoff lost by 88k votes in November. He's probably going to win by 50k when all the votes are counted. A 130k vote shift in 2 months is almost unheard of in US politics.

I think they have a better shot of taking back the house than than the senate. A lot more Republican senate seats are up for re-election in 2022.

I'm sure most major networks will call it for Ossoff tomorrow when some more Dekalb county votes come in.

I honestly don't understand the point of those rallies. The people who go to them are 99.99% gonna vote for Trump anyhow. I know if I were staunch of enough of a supporter for someone to go to their rallies, you bet your ass I'm gonna vote for them.

Ossoff just went up for good (I think)

If the turnout is indeed 4.6 million, it's only 400k less than the turnout for the 2020 general. That's 90% of the general turnout, which is amazing for a run-off.

Dave Wasserman has called it for Ossoff.

4.6 million total votes according to Georgia SoS. So far, almost 4.4 million counted. So still 200k left, a bit more than what NYT is projecting.

2020 Election Thoughts
120k votes left, Ossoff estimated to win those by about 44%. The Republicans' last good batch of 54k just dropped and they underperformed in that batch.

That and the 2k stimulus. He basically created that platform for the democrats to run on.

Breakdown is here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/05/us/elections/forecast-georgia-senate-runoff.html Looks like now there's 196k remaining. 70k election day, 86k mail-in, 26k early vote.

NYT's model says that Ossoff and Warnock are slated to win by 27 and 28% of the remaining vote. That's a huge advantage for the rest of the 233k (that's their estimate). So the estimate the rest of the way is 148K-85K. A 60k margin. If anything, Ossoff actually has some room for error assuming these estimates are correct and he doesn't heavily underperform.

2020 Election Thoughts
He's gonna have to underperform heavily in the rest of the vote to lose this. Still 200k+ votes left, mostly in dem areas. A 20k deficit with that much left isn't insurmountable.

Decision Desk HQ has called it for Warnock after the Dekalb votes. Ossoff down 3K after Dekalb's dump.

Yeah I realize that. But you gotta admit that he's honest in the face of defeat.

Why the hell does a county have a CEO? And why is he disagreeing with the Georgia voting systems coordinator?

Lots of votes left in the Atlanta suburbs. The question I have is, how blue is the day-of and the remaining early vote?
-
2020 Election Thoughts
They processed them early this time. They started counting them today. Almost all the votes from Atlanta metro is mail-in ballots so far. I'm interested to see how Warnock/Ossoff do in those counties compared to Biden. Because Ossoff ran quite a bit behind Biden in the general.

I like how Pence had to finally explain that to him during their meeting today.

They did the same thing for Trump on election night. NYT needle has the Dems barely winning, I think it'll depend on the election day turnout.
