57% in Cobb Early vote!!!!!!!!

[The Other Castro]

That Cobb EV is ABOVE Ossoff's approximate EV benchmark of 53%.

[Devout Centrist]

Still early vote guys, don't overreact.

[ajc0918]

What was the early vote target for Cobb?

[Jeppe]

I don't think the GOP can recover from that, that 57% figure is brutal, even for just early vote.

[Crumpets]

Does anyone have a rough estimate of how many votes are expected to be cast in total?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Still early vote guys, don't overreact.

Always sound advice.  But you've got to think Ossoff is happier about these numbers than the GOP is.

[heatcharger]

Ossoff currently at 63.4% with EV from Dekalb and Cobb.

[GlobeSoc]

Still early vote guys, don't overreact.

My big concern is whether or not Ossoff got shredded in Cobb and Fulton ED vote

[Xing]

This is early vote. We'll know more when election day votes start coming in.

[The Other Castro]

What was the early vote target for Cobb?

Total vote target was about 43%, so 53% for EV.

Also:

Nate Cohn‏ @Nate_Cohn
Ossoff at 57% in the Cobb County early vote. That's more impressive than the DeKalb tally. Ossoff on track for 2/3 of the EV

Nobody knows

[Tintrlvr]

Handel seems to be reasonably solid for second if there is a runoff at this point. She's about even with Hill in Cobb with Moody and Gray way behind, while she is also about even with Moody in DeKalb with Hill and Gray way behind. And she's from Fulton, so should do best there (as will Gray; Hill is from Cobb but is still in third without Fulton in so is definitely out of the runoff). She might get third everywhere but second overall.

Ossoff is ahead in every precinct in Cobb in the early vote except for one where he's in a 3 way tie with 2, LOL.

[Progressive]

What were the benchmarks of what Ossoff needs to win?

[Ronnie]

Regardless of how this jungle primary ends up, my feeling from the results so far is that Democrats are angry AF, and that portends well for the midterms next year.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Still early vote guys, don't overreact.

yes, but a higher number of EV than expected.

well, could just mean the EV is now a bigger number of boters than in the past but still...

[Podgy the Bear]

The Dems prepared very well for the EV drive in all three counties.  I am impressed with the turnout.

[JerryArkansas]

What was the early vote target for Cobb?

Nate Cohen had him at 49.4%, so this is better for him than expected.

[Confused Democrat]

Nate Cohn says this is going to be a long night

[Roronoa D. Law]

Election day or Early vote Ossoff should not be ahead in every precinct in East Cobb in EV.

[ajc0918]

Do we know the party breakdown for early votes for Cobb? Was R > D?

[MAINEiac4434]

Fulton just dumped, Ossoff ahead in almost every precinct.

[Devout Centrist]

I'll admit, this EV is way better than I thought it would be for Ossoff.
