Sorry what is the rest of the 233,000? Mail votes?

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. 

And the best part is if the President doesn't spend the last two months shitting on the electoral process, the GOP wins these two seats running away. 

Thanks Trump.

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

Ossoff down 456.

And yet, the “radical” and “socialist” policies that certain members of the GOP said would be enacted don’t have a good chance of passing. I think of things as being even if they get 50/50 in the senate. 

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. 

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. 

Dave Wasserman has called it for Ossoff. 

 

Damn I'm going to miss this thread. ?

Me too. I learned a lot from a lot of smart people here over the last few months.

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.

It's had a lot of good and a lot of not as good.

True, true.

ATL delivered.

 

Warnock is as it stands right now, outside of the recount threshold. Purdue or Ossoff is obviously a different story.

Haha this is just starting. This election is never going to end until the steal is stopped.

Trump entered the WH  with a Republican House and Senate. Now it looks like he lost it all. Maybe he was right. Maybe they got sick of winning.

NY Times meter has it ending at 1.9% for Warnock and 1.1% for Ossoff.

 

How much does this impact Trump negatively...at least in terms of GOP electoral politics?   Obviously, he's not going to take/assume/accept any responsibility for the loss, but it's hard to imagine him not being in the Top 3 reasons.

If for no other reason than the $200 million he's soaked up after the election.

With all the soft money flying into this, it seems the Dem advantage wasn't as pronounced in the end, but the GOP could have had a significant spending margin on advertising if they'd not gotten sidetracked.

 

Quite a few unforced errors by both sides.

For Dems, Antifa, defund the police, identity politics, embrace of "socialism" (or not differentiating enough from democratic socialism of the AOC/Squad variety)  and Bernie's comments on socialism/Castro/Cuba...

For the GOP, there are too many to name, but going to war with the governor of the state as well as the Secretary of State where you're trying to win two runoff elections doesn't seem to be the wisest election strategy.

 

 

Ossoff just went up for good (I think)
