NYT vote margin projection: Handel 1.2%
| Karen Handel (Republican) | 51.3% | 77,588 |
| Jon Ossoff (Democratic) | 48.7% | 73,610 |
Handel up 2% and change with 24% in.
The race in South Carolina is disturbingly close, got little attention.
R up 3 with 79% in. Doesn’t seem like the rat can win that but it was closer than expected.
The rat in South Carolina had a cool ad based on “House of Cards” where the 5th was the district of Kevin Spacey’s character. Slick bastard.
Nate Silver: BREAKING: If you rotate #GA06 135 degrees, it looks like a doggie.
Crackerjack analysis there, Nate.
The New York Times, which as the best election night coverage I have ever seen, who predicted ever race correct on November 6th, has Handel winning. This is one thing that the NY Times does well. I love their page. I love the meter, I love their breakouts. It is a political junkies dream!
It’d all over except for the dims recount which will truly decide the results.
I am sure that, if things look bad for Ossoff, some unexpected votes will show up overwhelmingly for him.
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.]
NYT and Decisiondesk HQ declare SC05 for the Republican but it was closer than expected - https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/south-carolina-house-special-election
Dem donors ... there goes $23 million down the drain.
[Is Ossoff enough of a superstar for them to try to rehab him in a future election?]
We’re winning !Handel is going to win ! I’m so happy ! The Trump effect overcame $$$ many millions of soros and democrat money ! I have hope! I’m so pumped now !Nothing can stop Trump ! Trully he will save America and Western civilization!
Dekalb looks slow coming in....not surprised.
We think about 95,000 votes remain to be counted. We think Mr. Ossoff leads in that vote by about 1.4 points. nyt
Has CNN accused Handel of colluding with the Russians, yet?
I think Assoff is going to lose. Looks like Handel will have a Russia collusion investigation on her hands as well.
MSNBC is reporting Ossoff 51% and Handel 49% with 60% in???
Didn’t Samuel L. Jackson throw money here? His reaction? Mutha F””KA ! Bleep bleep bleep!!!!!! His vocabulary is expansive /s
