Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[_]

LET'S GO ABRAMS!

[GeorgiaModerate]

Very early so far, but the Libertarian is getting an insignificant number of votes.  I doubt there's going to be a runoff.

[Rookie Yinzer]

First solid blue county in the Metro finished reporting. Abrams got more total votes than Hillary did in Rockdale County in 2016. She got 67 percent compared to Hillary’s 61.

[Adam Griffin]

Looking at the northern counties...ugh. Apparently none of the early vote has reported from my county and my people are still sequestered at the courthouse. These other counties suck but to be 69-30 in Election Day vote isn't the worst place to be; we'll see.

Around the state and overall, mixed numbers I'm seeing. Unless the metro really turns out the Democratic vote and without turning out hordes of GOP people, too (which seems to be the theme of tonight and why there isn't a wave), this is going to suck.

[Podgy the Bear]

She made absolutely no headway in the red areas--which is very disheartening.  She tried really hard there.

Only chance is a major overperformance in metro Atlanta but not counting on it.

The Democrats are performing poorly in the South but seem to be doing quite well in the Midwest and Northeast.   They should take the House. 

[Rookie Yinzer]

Looks like she is matching or slightly underperforming Hillary in deep red areas. Yikes!

Bright side is she is massively outperforming her and Obama in the Atl suburbs so far. She will win Newton County 54-45 and gets more total votes than Hillary did.

Jesus christ, how off were these polls

[Podgy the Bear]

The Democratic present and future is in the urban and suburban areas--no less in the South than the rest of the country.  Which is why Bourdeaux (GA-07) is running very well; we'll see about McBath.  But winning a statewide election seems to be a thing of the past.

Welp

[Adam Griffin]

Goddamn it - and the thing is, I knew better than to get my hopes up from the very start:

 

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

Georgia and Florida disappointed the nation.

[Hammy]

Georgia and Florida disappointed the nation.

Kemp stole the election--his margin was smaller than the number of voters he removed.

I'm probably not going to bother voting any longer as long as I live in Georgia--I'm not going to contribute legitimacy to this one party "election"

[Bidenworth2020]

howabout barrow, is he at least making a runoff?

[Adam Griffin]

Well, we may be looking at a runoff for at least one race:

[Podgy the Bear]

howabout barrow, is he at least making a runoff?

It'll be close; he's down 46-51 with 90 percent of the vote in.  But even in a runoff, it would be enormously difficult.

[Alabama_Indy10]

CNN has Kemp up 51.0-48.1% with 99% of the vote in.

[Gass3268]

AG you called it, GA-07 would flip before GA-06!

[QAnonKelly]

Abrams looks like she's gonna be able to drag him below 50% with Fulton and DeKalb still out. Glad Bordeaux won. She ran a great campaign and is a great candidate and I'm not just saying that as a GSU alum

[Adam Griffin]

Well, I probably should have waited to vent; those exit polls have to be wrong somewhere in a pretty big way...not sure how much is actually left outstanding, but at this point, it'll be anywhere from 60-95% D depending on exactly where we are in the counting.

I can see Lindy Miller (PSC 1) getting into a runoff, too - and if Abrams does, the PSC 2 slot could make it to a runoff also.

There are still 429 out of 2634 precincts in GA not complete, but that's misleading: many of these almost certainly are, and just haven't been registered as such via SoS yet.

[Adam Griffin]

Well, Abrams and the gang are suddenly falling back behind - her margin of loss is closer to 4 points now.

At any rate, these are the only four people who could theoretically make a runoff as of now:

Sorry--but it looks like Bourdeaux is now 6000 votes behind.  Forsyth County precincts came in for Woodall in a big way.  McBath is now down by 100 votes!!

[Adam Griffin]

Called it too soon (but it's still closer as of now than GA-06)!

The white vote is still hard to crack for Dems in the deep south.
