In spite of what you heard, Tom Price won his reelection with 61.6% of the vote only seven months ago.

And Trump won over Clinton by one point.

Tom Price was an incumbent with penniless, no-name token Democratic opposition. Ossoff, on the other hand, has had $50,000,000 poured into his campaign by national Democrats, who can be laser-focused on this race since there's nothing else going on.

My brother was stationed there when the Buffs left.

He played zigzag assignments between Hawaii and Guam.

That NYT dial on Election Night 2016 was an absolute work of art.

Simple and to the point.

I loved it. Is there a link to their coverage tonight? I don't have a subscription, so I don't think I can get to it by myself.

Election night Nov 16 this district took forever to report their votes. Hope they do better tonight.

For those who followed this election closely, and/or those in the district -

Has Republican Karen Handel made any mis-steps? Does she cut from the establishment GOP cloth?

The three commenters on Martha Mccallum’s show fell this way: The two who appear to be Dems predicted a recount.....the one who was the Republican said Handel. The possible Dems wouldn’t commit. I think, from observations, that Handel will win this. The Left generally pulls closer to reality as the election nears.

“My brother was stationed there when the Buffs left.”

Other than the absolute remoteness of the place it is a good place to be.

“Well if it is GOPe district, would that not be positive considering the fact that the candidate is GOPe?”

I agree.

If this candidate wins big they can have shown their disdain for Trump and allegiance to GOPe.

The early voting concerns me, although I hear they have voter ID in GA.

In the POTUS election, we could not overcome the EV margin built up in the two weeks before voting day in the State of Nevada. I spoke with people at campaign headquarters on election night, of a neighbor who arrived at the polls in NV was turned away from voting stating “Dr Smith, you voted on the first day of early voting” even though Dr. Smith was out of town.

I hope we get this fixed soon.

Yes, my point was that the gerrymandering probably does not have as much to do with these voting trends compared to the factors you and others have pointed out.
