Take this with a grain of salt, obviously, but:

So GOP vote is either "moderate" or 3x better than the 2016 presidential election.

Current traffic picture in the area (via Nate Silver):

16,500 votes in Fulton County by 12:30. They are expecting 36,000 today.

36K in Fulton, which has over half the district's voters, doesn't seem like that much.  Wasn't overall Election Day turnout expected to be in the 100K neighborhood?

I could be totally wrong, but this seems like bad news for Handel. She needs a robust Election Day turnout.

13,787 votes in DeKalb as of 3:00, about 1,000 less than R1

But with nearly three hours left. They will most likely exceed that especially in the last couple of hours when people leave work.

dekalb county democrats, for the most part, either don't work or work at jobs like wendy's and raising cane's where they can't get off from work to vote

Any of our resident experts on GA-06 know which areas tend to report votes earlier/later?

Also, do they tend to dump EVs separately at the very beginning or include with individual precinct results as a consolidated total?

If I remember correctly from the first round, the EV dumps in totality for each of the three counties.

Nate Cohen wants to make sure everyone remembers that's only the in person early vote will be first. Mail in early vote will cone much later and will lean more Dem.

York is absolutely killing Parnell. Just over 1,000 votes in it. All of Cherokee just dumped, a meager swing to the Dems there. All of Chester reported, and it's a 10 point Dem swing.

In what world a 17.1% swing meager?

[Gass3268]

Politico is saying that they are seeing a 2.4% shift towards Ossoff in the precicents that have counted so far.

[Gass3268]

Why does everyone have different numbers? So annoying.

[Gass3268]

Ossoff is going to end up with almost the exactly % he got back in April. That by itself is amazing.

[Gass3268]

He keeps ignoring that most of Ossoff's money came from individual donors

About a $40 average
