PARNELL LEADS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

HE DID IT, HE FLIPPED THE DISTRICT!

OH MY GOD HANDEL IN THE LEAD DEMOCRATS ARE DESTINED TO SPEND THE NEXT 40 YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS

The New York Times site isn't showing up any votes yet, even though results are expected soon. I'm expecting the early vote to be heavily D.

Fulton dumped right as you said that, lol.

Karen Handel    Republican    37,140    51.4%    
Jon Ossoff           Democrat            35,111    48.6

All Fulton EV.

What are Fulton benchmarks for Ossoff win?

I've heard around 53% in the early vote, 49.5% overall. So not great, obviously, but if the early mail-in votes aren't accounted for yet (as some replies on this thread seem to be indicating), then Ossoff is still in decent shape.

Man, after watching the UK general election unfold, I have got to say (especially now) that I am jealous of how fast they manage to tabulate everything.

SC-05 stopped updating. SC GOP sweatin' like a dog

I'm sure Gov. McMaster has already voided the election and declared the ghost of Strom Thurmond the winner based on a few early returns from Kershaw county

This is one of the ads that Parnell ran. If loving this is wrong, then I don't want to be right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZsJjqDvSRw

This is beautiful.

Disastrous results for the GOP tonight

Nice try.

I mean it's not disastrous in the sense that GOP will win the seats tonight, but like. Idk I'd think it were pretty disastrous if the GOP came within 2 points of winning Rep. Grace Meng's seat for example.

SC is a pretty awful result, but they could have done much worse in GA, so I'd say it's a wash. I know it's a controversial opinion on here, but I don't believe that special elections are a 100% foolproof barometer to predict the results of the midterm elections.

Obviously they are in trouble in several House races, but we already knew that.

I agree on the one hand this says nothing about 2018 but jfc what does Trump need to do to finally pay some type of politcal backlash at the polls?

Literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue?
