Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

I could see Republican's being so worried about losing this race... that they end up beating themselves through all the underhanded stunts they try to pull.

Essentially McCrory vs. Cooper all over again.

I tend to think Cooper won on his on merit ... not really b/c of all of the Republican shenanigans.  Cooper was much more likeable than McCrory & Cooper ran a smart campaign... even campaigning in smaller rural counties- which made the difference.  My mom is an Obama-Trump voter (now 100% Trump/ FoxNews) ... and she voted for Cooper with full support- based in large part on being invited to a campaign meeting him when he came to my parents small rural county.  Winning over as many voters from rural areas is key for Dems winning close races (which often just showing up makes the difference)

What the deal with the Trafalgar Poll in GA putting Kemp up  by 12??? I know they are a (R) group.... but what is even the point of bending a poll that badly- is it an (poor) attempt to make it appear Kemp has late momentum or something?

How many provisional ballots are still unsettled in GA?
&
How many rejected early/absentee votes are there in GA? (that Abrams could potentially challenge to get them counted).

Anyone know if write in votes are counted towards the 50% threshold. The state website isn’t reporting them but seems like the counties are.

This is actually a good question... although I can't imagine there are very many... or anywhere close to enough to make any difference.

I think you would need something like 30,000 write in votes to get Kemp below 50%.
