It’d all over except for the dims recount which will truly decide the results.

"Montana was 369,000 votes"

Apples and oranges. Montana has almost 50% more people in its congressional district. It is a single state-wide "at large" district of 1 million population. Georgia's 6th district has 692,000 people (these are total population numbers, not voters).

US Congressional districts generally have around 660,000 - 750,000 ppl (total population), except in the unusual cases where the entire state is just one congressional district.

450000 registered voters in that district. 300000 votes would be 67% turnout - don’t see that happening.

So what do we call this now? “Ossoff-The $40 million mistake”?

Up to almost 80% in, and as we expected, Norman’s lead is expanding somewhat. Kershaw and much of York is out.

Dude doesn’t know that Latin “Americans” are Nationalistic to the core (I know because I lived there for 10 years). They don’t call themselves “Americanos”. They call themselves by their nationalities.

Stupidist post ever! I’d expect it from a globalist-lib, not here.

I am sure that, if things look bad for Ossoff, some unexpected votes will show up overwhelmingly for him.

“America is a continent. Canadians, Mexicans, Central and South Americans are all “Americans”

The identifier “American” was bequeathed to us by our Founding Fathers. It is in their writings.

You can go to any history book, or any article, or any story (and these are in the billions) and when you see the identifier “American” there is no question who exactly is referred to.

Now some men who have lost their balls are content to allow other peoples steal their identity, their heritage, their country, their future, their life.

Among other things.

You would think the Dems would of at least got someone who lived in the district if they’re spending all that money on this race.

Quick check of CNN.

CNN ........... the Russians!

[I take that to mean they have moved on from the GA election and don’t want to have to declare Handel the winner. Handel has opened up a 10k vote lead.]
