President Trump appeared today to campaign for Republican candidates and get out the vote:
If the D wins, I suggest the house refuse to seat him. He doesn’t even live in the district. He states he has plans to move back to this district (just another month or two) when his girlfriend finishes school.
And that is quite telling in itself. It’s no longer something that kills your political chances to be living with a woman outside marriage.
Anyways he isn’t living in the district at the time of the election. I say don’t seat the prick.
My prediction Ossoff comes in at 42%
More likely 35-40 %.
I believe over 90% of Ossoff’s funding comes from out of state. He also has strong support in the media.
I doubt he has much support among ordinary voters.
When he loses the media will drop the story.
Attention Freepers,
Who should I be pulling for tonight?
(ie. which candidate is the least RINO ?)
Freegards,

Technically, it’s not a primary. It’s a free-for-all special election that requires 50%+1 vote to win, which no one is likely to do. Thus this will be followed by a special election runoff, with the top two finishers of today’s race competing. That election is June 20th.

Informative, updated... not unbiased though.
What time do the polls close?
FNC says the Georgia, 6th CD voting is heavy across the three counties. I am hoping that fact forces the run-off in which Ossoff will get slaughtered by whoever the Republican is.
The Obama scum, Democrat, low life vermin were counting on a very light voter turnout for victory....we shall see within a short time!!!

[Do Dems need to manufacture more votes?]
I still can’t get over how many pubbies the RNC put in the race! Fuggin’ idiot! Romney’s fault!
It’s like an eleven way race yet Ossoff’s been flogged by the media as a walkaway winner tonight which, of course, he won’t be. So they will have to look upon his failure to garner 50% as a loss.
I will be watching tonight just to catch a little flavor of that crushed hope that I’m starting to miss.
Then I hope Trump schedules rallies all over the state.
Let’s kick this mofo’s pantied ass in the runoff!
Hmm ...
Decision desk has anticipated number of votes as between 140,000 to 165,000.
Clarity elections has registered voters in the district as 130,304.
Anyone care to comment on the apparent discrepancy??
Is there a federal law applying to the states that state legislators must live in their voting district?
If there is, what explains Ossoff?

I hope that Ossof doesn’t win, but if he does, it will be a wake up call. I have said that the Democrats are highly motivated, and writing off the people at those townhalls who vote is not wise.
