GA-06 and SC-05 election day & results thread

[GlobeSoc]

It's too early. Wait for more results.

I was being sarcastic

[BlueDogDemocrat]

Why doesn't the New York Times have a probability arrow on South Carolina's race today?

Probably because it isn't supposed to be a Competitive race the republican should win it by a decent margin

So what happens if Parnell wins and Ossoff loses?  Do we just shut everything down?

[GGover]

It's over for Ossoff! :0

[GeorgiaModerate]

I see nobody saw the posts that these early vote numbers are just in-person early vote, and doesn't including the Dem-leaning mail votes.

How many are there?

Anyone have the answer to this?

I just did a quick crunch on last night's absentee file, and get:

Cobb
ELECTRONIC Count   90
IN PERSON Count   17131
MAILED Count   10695

DeKalb
ELECTRONIC Count   95
IN PERSON Count   25328
MAILED Count   7256

Fulton
ELECTRONIC Count   144
IN PERSON Count   72084
MAILED Count   9187

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.

Uhhh what? Aside from the race in Sunderland and Newcastle, the UK is slower. Constituencies typically take 2 hours minimum to report, with many having to take 4+ for districts with less then 80K people.

some precinct maps out there on NYT and 538 for Fulton in person EV for anyone that knows what that data might indicate.....

[Hammy]

Karen Handel (Republican)    51.5%   37,435
Jon Ossoff (Democratic)    48.5%   35,256

Early vote count is fairly in line with my R 54-46 prediction given how things trended during the runoff.

No, it just means the entire strategy of the dems is wrong.

Well, we already knew that.

Was Parnell's strategy really that different from Ossoff's?

So, we have a Haganing?

It's suburban vs rural, not in terms of messaging.

DDHQ says this is consistent with an extremely close race, although I'm not sure how much stock I put in them at this point.

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

GA-06 stopped updating too.

[Oryxslayer]

WTF Atlas. Early vote drops for Fulton and Ossoff down 1: its all over for Ossoff, why did Dems waste money, nothing is good. 3% of precincts from a Dem county and the dem-leaning early vote in in SC: Dems win, strategy wrong, rurals for life?  

I wonder why I even bother to sign up here in the first place.

[Brittain33]

Handel showed up at her victory party, so clearly she's optimistic.

[Adam Griffin]

Ossoff probably ends up with 52-53% of the EV in Fulton once mail ballots are counted.

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

Every moment of election night is an eternity.

Ossoff probably wasn't the best candidate Dems could've chosen.

Less than 30% of the vote is in for both districts. Don't worry.

[Crumpets]

NYT just moved their projection from Handel +0.8 to Handel +0.6. Clearly she's done for.
