I said from day one that Ossoff was never going to win here. If anything, the GOP was complacent in the first election, since it was an absolute guarantee you wouldn't have a D vs D runoff, so many likely didn't vote. The fact that Ossoff reached 48%, if anything, spooked Republicans into showing up in larger numbers, in addition to some of the polling (and the amount of Dem spending.) Had he gotten lower (say 42-45%) those spooked Republicans may not have shown up but there wouldn't have been enough to shift in his direction--he was never going to win regardless.
