Cherokee for Norman.

84% in, Norman up 13341-12802.

Places with votes left:

Lancaster - 53% Norman
Chester - 56% Pope
York - 55% Pope

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Now of the 57 precincts out 50 are from york co. Now it is truly up to margin control.

[The Other Castro]

I think Norman has this.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I think Norman has this.

Still 42% left in York - if the margin stays at the 1200 votes it's at now Norman's fine (the only other thing left is Lancaster, where it's 53% Norman so far), but if Pope can grow the margin.....

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I think Norman has this.

Don't be so quick to speak, there is still votes out in york county, and if pope can work some magic with the margins...

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

91% in, Norman up 15103-14718.

Everything is in except a third of York, where Pope is up by 9.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

94% in. Norman up 16,236   to 15,567. or about 51-49.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Calling this election for Norman! He's up 16236-15567 with 94% in! The rest of York just won't be enough.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Looks like the polling showing this as a 1 point race was quite accurate.

GA State Senate results?

^Not seeing numbers anywhere. AP doesn't have it (which is what NYT uses), and neither does the SOS or DDHQ.

The Fulton County part of the district is all in. The Cobb County part still reporting.  Kirkpatrick should have this.

[Holmes]

Yeah, Kirkpatrick has it. The margin will increase with only Cobb left but if Triebsch can stay above 40-41%, it wouldn't be a bad result.

[_]

No call yet for some reason.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

No call yet for some reason.

The AP has some weird policy of not calling races that are within so many votes. As you can see from this thread, I have no such policy, and have called the race.

[Classic Conservative]

Yes! Norman will be a great congressman!

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Yes! Norman will be a great congressman!

Well first he has to beat this guy in the General:

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Yes! Norman will be a great congressman!

Well first he has to beat this guy in the General:

That'll be a cakewalk. Today was the defacto election, June 20th is more of a formality for this district.

KAY KIRKPATRICK (REP)         56.98%   18,602

For reference, Ossoff got 43% in the jungle primary in the area overlapping this. I think it might be fair to say that this area in general is no longer rock ribbed

So a first-time Democratic candidate running a pretty bare-bones campaign financially-speaking managed to basically a) match Clinton's margin and b) match Ossoff's share of the vote here in a runoff held separately from the congressional runoff. That says a lot, even before considering she got close to 45% of the vote in one of the most historically-GOP areas of the state.

Maybe "the Discrepancy" (as I've called it) involving metro ATL voters being more GOP downballot is finally starting to dissolve...or maybe it dissolves whenever an incumbent is out of the picture and the area(s) start voting more like what demography would suggest.

I do think you make a good point about incumbency. I can see voters in this district voting for a Democrat for President or in an open race, they did it last November and last month. But Price and Isakson performed very well here too. I think next year's gubernatorial race will be interesting here, at least if Democrats run a good candidate.

Hold your horses. Yes, last month a dem won the district with a plurality, but Trump won this district in the general election last year. Granted dems have been doing great in this area, and the republicans are doing bad here, but don't go around spreading misinformation. Trump won the district.

[Holmes]

Hold your horses on what? I literally said wait and see.
