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

Somehow Fox News is actually covering this well.

[heatcharger]

Karen Handel    Republican    37,140    51.4%    
Jon Ossoff           Democrat            35,111    48.6

All Fulton EV.

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?

[heatcharger]

I think all of the in-person EV just came in.

[heatcharger]

Ossoff got 45.3% and 60.2% and of the in-person EV in Cobb and Dekalb respectively.

Are we sure this is all the EV out of Cobb/Dekalb? It looks a bit low in comparison to Fulton.

Well according to GeorgiaModerate:

Presumably, the mail vote took a chunk out of the typical in-person early-vote.

Should Perez be fired after this? Spending this much on a congressional race and losing is embarrassing.

Ossoff only made it this far because of DailyKos-types. Perez did not personally authorize the campaign fundraising. Can we have less moronic hot takes and more election result analysis?

The last time something good happened in American politics since Obama's win is JBE. How f**king sad. 2018 is an eternity from now.

And people wanting Democrats to poison the well even further need to realize that the Dem base is simply not receptive to that kind of stuff. Ossoff would've lost by more if he spewed the Trumpian rhetoric some of you wish he did.

Both sides still need centrist voters. Not everyone is partisan.

Jon Ossoff was the most bland, policy-ignoring, featureless center-left asshole they could find and he still got called a f**king San Francisco Maoist.

Who's 'they'? Dude got propped up by random people on Daily Kos.

Implying Daily Kos isn't a center left site.

Your point? Some of you #DemExit people think the all-powerful DNC handpicks every single candidate, when in this case, and actually in all of these special elections this year, that has not been the case.

How does Corbyn doing well in the UK say anything about US politics?

It really doesn't. Most people should understand that the British and American electorates are vastly different. There's way less racial chauvinism in the UK, and the people there don't care as much about guns, God, and abortion the way people do here.

Scott, you're smart enough to realize that Quist and Thompson getting the boatloads of money Ossoff got would've been negatives for their campaigns.

Not sure what that has to do with the graphic, but um, okay.

Tweet says how Quist and Thompson had far less money but did 'better' than Ossoff did. I'm saying if they got the financial backing Ossoff got, they would've lost by more than they did.
