GA-6 Special election discussion thread

[Umengus]

ossoff at 51 % with dekalb at... 95 % in.

[Brittain33]

His vote also can only go down from the Early voting.

yep

Well, he just went up a small amount. It's going to vary a lot by the precincts that report.

[anthonyjg]

Ossoff just went up .2%. Anyone know why?

Dekalb vote dump

[MaxQue]

Whoa.  Ossoff went UP to 51.0% at 46% of precincts in.

That's normal if precincts reporting are better than 51% Ossoff.

[NeverAgain]

DeKalb looks like it will end at 58.

[Umengus]

because Dekalb. And the 0,2 % is very small...

[TheSaint250]

Whoa.  Ossoff went UP to 51.0% at 46% of precincts in.

That's normal if precincts reporting are better than 51% Ossoff.

Oh, OK.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Off topic do anybody think Trump can win this district in 2020 or GA-07 for that matter.

[Barnes]

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

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

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.

Is that true? I've been hearing this from some Georgia friends. I hope that is not true.

This is true. The only mitigating fact is that Milton County was once a separate county, about 80 years ago, that went bankrupt and was absorbed into Fulton County to cover its debts.

There was another county that was merged into Fulton at the same time, but strangely there is no statewide effort to recreate it within the Georgia GOP. Surely that has nothing to do with the fact that today it is majority black.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_County,_Georgia

Oh, of course not!

Not that this has been proposed in nearly every General Assembly since 2005 when the Republicans took control. They even created the little town of Milton to satisfy their wet dreams.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

He is going to dive below the 50% threshold anytime now.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Ossoff rapidly running out of places to keep him above 50% in #ga06

Now thinking Ossoff will end up somewhere between 44% and 48%.

[Tintrlvr]

Worth noting that non-Ossoff Dems are at about 1% together right now. It's conceivable that the vote for all Ds combined will be greater than the vote for all Rs combined even with the runoff happening. (Independents are together only at about 0.1%, so Ossoff would need to be at 49% or so for that to happen.)

[MaxQue]

Does Fulton plans on counting tonight?

[Jeppe]

The rest of Fulton county looks good for Ossoff, especially the Sandy Springs area, which hasn't even started reporting a single poll yet.

[The Other Castro]

Ossoff now at 50.1%

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Conservatrash gonna be trash.

The moderators really don't moderate around here, do they?

In the end, no surprise.

[BuckeyeNut]

If it is former Milton County in for the ED votes of Fulton, this still aint over.

[ApatheticAustrian]

In the end, no surprise.

statistically it is a surprise, just not enough to push the coup through.

[Brittain33]

It helps to report posts. Unless I happen to be reading a thread, I don't proactively moderate (which may be why a second moderator was added to my boards.)

[The Other Castro]

Cobb County dump, now mostly in.

[McGovernForPrez]

Most of the remaining Cobb areas appear to be very favorable to Ossoff. Not counting a win out yet.

Also that literally just happened.

are they just waiting for one country to be finished before releasing the next?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Precincts reporting, according to SoS (Green: fully reported; Yellow: partially reported)

Is DeKalb done?
