GA-6 Special election discussion thread

[Libertarian in Name Only]

I'm guessing Ossoff lands between 46-48%

[Tartarus Sauce]

In very typical fashion people are getting way to invested here earlier today someone on this thread would have told you upper 40's against Handel was a good position for Ossoff but now libs are doom and gloom an reps are declaring Handel rep

Pretty much upper 40s ossoff is impressive, also wouldn't the runoff being in summer lead to more young voters in college being present?

[The Other Castro]

NYT says Fulton now 16% reporting, Ossoff dropped to 55.3% there.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

The new SoS interface is sucking at showing me county-by-county or precinct-by-precinct totals. How much vote from Fulton is actually in?

16% in for Fulton.

[BuckeyeNut]

About 1% of the vote is non-Ossoff Democrats who voted for someone else

Watch Ossoff get 49% of the vote. lol

I don't think it's possible to call this until we see what Fulton day vote looks like.

[TheSaint250]

Ossoff seems to be holding well for now.  I guess it'll be a few more vote-number dumps before he falls below 50%.

Gray is taking 3rd, though.

[Adam Griffin]

If Ossoff can break even in Fulton (assuming the vast majority isn't counted already) and the remainder of the vote in Cobb is proportionate to its share of the population, then it would suggest Ossoff gets about 51% of the vote in the end (assuming 55% of vote is outstanding and comes to 46.7 Ossoff; 45% is in at 55% Ossoff).

[Classic Conservative]

He's down to 55% in Fulton

Depends if they registered to vote at college dorm or home

Per @Bencjacobs, those were 19 precincts in far north Fulton (very Republican territory).

[Umengus]

 PROJECTION: #GA06 is headed to a 6/20 runoff between Jon Ossoff (D) & Karen Handel (R). @CookPolitical still rates race a Toss Up.

Well this sucks if you are a Democrat...

No it doesn't.

Aka the former Milton County which regularly tries to secede from Fulton so Republican country clubs don't have to pay taxes for black people.

Very few thought ossoff could get high 40s earlier today wtf is wrong with dems and their doom and gloom

[ApatheticAustrian]

If he is short, he'll likely be at 48%, not at 42%, as many assumed -- and that is a huge difference.

Wouldn't be surprised if the weaker ED DeKalb showing was due to the nasty thunderstorms that rolled in combined with underserved EV sites. He's holding up better so far proportionally to the regional county lean in Fulton and Cobb than in DeKalb.

[Umengus]

Well this sucks if you are a Democrat...

No it doesn't.

yes it is. One hour ago, Osoff was going to win...

[7,052,770]

Well this sucks if you are a Democrat...

Why? Surely you weren't expecting an outright win tonight?

[ajc0918]

I love how Bob Gray is getting crushed. The TrumpBots are shook!

[Adam Griffin]

There should still be a remarkable amount of vote remaining in Fulton - enough to potentially cancel out the remainder of Cobb's in raw numbers and keep him above 50. The question now is: is the outstanding Fulton vote at or enough above 50 to cancel out a tougher margin in Cobb?

[Classic Conservative]

Wasserman calls a runoff.
