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

[GGover]

Parnell is an absolute madman. He might just be the next Obama.

[GlobeSoc]

The swing maps in the SC-05 election will be arousing very informative.

[Virginiá]

Over $6 million came from the DCCC.

So? It's a toss-up race with major symbolic ramifications. It's not like the race was some far-fetched dream.

And 6 million isn't close to his full fundraising figures, meanwhile watching you talk about it, it is as if you're trying to imply they bankrolled his entire campaign.

[Mr.Phips]

Nearly 40% of the vote in and Parnell is leading by 3% in SC-05 lol

Yet none of heavily Republican Cherokee county is in.

[Adam Griffin]

Jesus, why is SoS so far behind? NYT is always garbage in that regard, but SoS is like 20 minutes behind DDHQ at this point.

[VPH]

Parnell won't win but this looks good for him altogether.

[Confused Democrat]

Why are the DDhq and NYT result reversed for SC-05?

[GlobeSoc]

Why are the DDhq and NYT result reversed for SC-05?

I said it once: either ddhq or nyt are lying.

Whatever the final result in South Carolina, Norman ran as 'the most conservative Republican in the State Legislature" (or the state house, either one) who promised he was not going to Washington to advance legislation, but basically to block everything.  Maybe this is some evidence that, while the so-called 'Freedom Caucus' Republicans can win their party's nominations, they're going to increasingly struggle to win the general election.

I'm not sure if the 'Freedom Caucus' is seen as pro Trump or anti Trump by the idiot Trump supporters.

Say what you want about the New Tork Times, but nothing beats their election results pages and maps.

only thing missing is how we know what precints are now dropped in fulton county for example. we know 7% of precints are finished but i would have to calculate manualy which are those.

Yet the GOP in the district has been seriously under-performing their stronghold counties here.  I assume the Dem loses but were going to have some really interesting swings

[MT Treasurer]

Karen Handel (Republican)    50.7%   68,661
Jon Ossoff (Democratic)    49.3%   66,669

[Classic Conservative]

Democrats do better when Republicans are sleeping and don't vote. Just remember that the old people and the GOP have higher turnouts in midterms.

[swf541]

Dem doing 9 points better in Spartansburg county than 2016 first precint (Still a massive gop margin but thats still a major swing)

[GGover]

Karen Handel (Republican)    51.0%   70,210
Jon Ossoff (Democratic)    49.0%   67,374

[MAINEiac4434]

It's all about Chester.

[GlobeSoc]

It's all about Chester.

CHESTER!
CHESTER!
CHESTER!

[swf541]

It's all about Chester.

Yea gop got 52% in the binary vote their in the congressional race in 16 if i did the numbers on nyt right

[bilaps]

america is a third world country when it comes to voting process. from the start and a need to have to register to vote till the end and counting those votes.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I just look forward to the GOP trying to rub these victories in our faces even though these districts have been solid for decades and yet came within 1-2 points of flipping blue. It's like they are sitting in a burning building.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I don't see hOw Handel loses

[BudgieForce]

I don't see hOw Handel loses

The mail in vote.

Funny how the GOP was trying to downplay the importance of these special elections earlier.

Stop peddling this bullsh**t.

[The Other Castro]

In fully reporting precincts for Election Day vote, Handel is doing about 0.6% worse and Ossoff about 0.6% better than round 1 (than total Republicans and Democrats respectively). Likely not enough though for Ossoff.
