Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[ON Progressive]

Henry County (Abrams +15): Raffensperger +4 with 10/37 precincts reporting

Looks like Griffin was right when he said the Southern ATL metro is where Barrow would underperform the most.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Ouch, Raffensperger wins the Cobb early vote.

I can't prove this of course, but I think Abrams sore loser shenanigans turned off a lot of voters and hurt Barrow.

I agree fully. Abrams should have conceded gracefully and pivoted her attention to helping Barrow with the runoff. Instead, her arrogance has helped to cost Democrats this race.

Can you stop being so moderate? It literally hurts.

I would call that hackish.

Cathrina isn't a hack. Whoever says that is the worst Atlas poster ever and is put on her ignore list.

Newton County (Abrams +9) is in, and Raffensperger won it by 4. Definitely good news for Rs.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Abrams voters who didn't show up today got exactly what they deserved.

No. Abrams turned out a lot of low propensity, unreliable voters who were enchanted with her message. They stayed home/didn't know there was a runoff/didn't care there was a runoff. This is just what happens when your base are people with a history of disenfranchisement and disillusionment from politics and politicians. They aren't going to just show up for anybody.

[MT Treasurer]

Raffensperger (R)                          498,522    60.8%
Barrow (D)                                   321,564    39.2%

820,086 votes, 51% reporting (1,356 of 2,634 precincts)

You've literally said to me verbatim that you were a woman of color....... I can't.

the base still showed up for a corrupt black man in MS who was also just as moderate as Barrow.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The fact that Barrow hasn't broken 40% yet when we have 52% of the vote reporting is just sad.

[MT Treasurer]

DeKalb is 100% in, Barrow won it 85/15. Better than Abrams, actually.

MS Democrats are not liberals, and a high profile Senate race is not comparable to a race for a down ballot office that nobody cared about until a few weeks ago.

Anyway, Barrow looks like he is going to lose Henry, Newton, Gwinnett, and Cobb. Tuning out of the results. On to 2020...

Nah, just kidding.

[nolesfan2011]

data glitch, not fully in

[Pollster]

Lindy Miller is currently, by the narrowest of margins, outperforming Barrow.

[Zaybay]

Im thinking we are looking at a high singles victory for the Rs in both races, based on whats left.

[DataGuy]

Barrow just hit 41%. It will narrow further when Atlanta and its suburbs fully report, and there's also votes still to come in from the Democratic counties of Clarke and Chatham. I think it will very likely end up being within single digits, but nonetheless Raffensperger is the overwhelming favorite to take this.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Fulton still hasn't reported anything, lmao.

[Pollster]

Raffensperger by 6 or 7 looking likely.

Ah, that makes sense.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

First bit of Fulton finally, Barrow at 74%, Abrams at 72%.
