The most competitive special Congressional election yet has arrived, and we will be providing returns live tonight right here. In addition to our district-wide totals, we will be analyzing county and precinct level returns. For the Democrats, the hope is that Jon Ossoff can pull out an outright win tonight- if he gets over 50% of the vote in this crowded field, he’s in as the district’s new Representative in Congress. If he falls short, then he will face off against one of four likely Republican opponents in a runoff on June 20th: Karen Handel, Bob Gray, Judson Hill, or Dan Moody. Polls close at 7pm and we anticipate at least early vote tallies to begin rolling in shortly thereafter. Refresh this page for the latest results tonight out of Georgia.
Ossoff over 50% in DeKalb's Silver Lake precinct for Election Day votes - 648 of 1284 precinct went 45.47 Trump to 45.38 Clinton.
Was that the expected turnout?
Candidate Percent Votes
Jon Ossoff (Democratic) 63.4% 13,416
Karen Handel (Republican) 11.4% 2,414
Judson Hill (Republican) 9.1% 1,934
Dan Moody (Republican) 7.5% 1,584
Bob Gray (Republican) 6.1% 1,283
President Trump appeared today to campaign for Republican candidates and get out the vote:
Unless one candidate gets over 50% of the vote tonight, then they automatically win.
Yes. It is not time to panic with such a small % of the vote in, mostly from early voting and Dem Dekalb county.
Pretty big difference in turnout from a presidential election vs. a special primary election.
FWIW, I heard Bob Gray make a statement pandering to man-made global warming alarmism. Really turned me off on him.
That said, I’d vote for him over this Dem media creation child with no life experience and not much of a resume in a heartbeat.
40% here.

Now reports from a couple of districts in DeKalb where Ossuff did better than Hillary! so ... who knows.
May be determined by turnout in R areas like Fulton and Cobb.
Ossuff doesn’t seem to be doing quite as well in the early vote as the Cook Report guy said he needed to do.
With the early vote reporting in Cobb County (the most GOP-friendly county in the district, which voted for Trump by 11%), Ossoff is at 57%.
In a non-special election to replace a hire of Trump, yes. This is so 6 is represented until the mid-terms.
Yes, there is. I understand it and at the same time, don’t quite get it.

One of our local FReepers knows Moody very well and thinks him the best candidate. Likely at the campaign HQ. I like him as well.
Ossoff started at 71, now down to 66% with 1% in
I would maintain that precinct is far from representative for the district.
