Handel defeats Ossoff to win Georgia 6th District
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | June 20, 2017 | Greg Bluestein

Republican Karen Handel staved off a furious challenge from Democrat Jon Ossoff on Tuesday in a race to represent a suburban Atlanta seat in Congress, as the GOP and President Donald Trump avoided an embarrassing defeat in the most expensive U.S. House contest in history.

A former Georgia secretary of state, Handel emphasized her experience and roots in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to defeat Ossoff and keep a seat that’s long been held by Republicans in GOP hands. She becomes Georgia’s first female Republican member of the U.S. House.....

Looks like he will be sponging off his Dr. or soon to be Dr. girlfriend instead of taxpayers. I consider this a big win and also for Pelosi to look even more foolish than she already did.

Watching this race was like watching a repeat of our congressional primary race last year. We had a punk who moved here from CA and decided to try for Congressman DesJarlais’ seat and all his money came from out of state like Ossoff’s did. He didn’t live in our district either.
And to top it off, he looks a lot like Ossoff!

He lost and I was praying today’s election result would be a repeat of ours. Looks like that prayer was answered.

WAY TO GO, GA!! Ya done good!

Ossoff has vastly outpaced Handel, with nearly $24 million to her $4.5 million – millions more was spent by outside groups.

Watch out for thousands of Dem ballots forgotten in someone’s car trunk.



I believe that car is going to be a bit delayed.

“So much for this Pelosi drone being up by 2 points as of yesterday as reported by the fake news polling.”

hell, 3 weeks ago, “the polls” had ossof up almost 33 gazillion points.

To quote Ossof, “Why aren’t I up 50 gazillion points you may ask?”

I guess that means this race ISN’T a “referendum on Trump”...

As much out of state money that was poured into this election, I'd say it's a referendum on democrats.

Woo Hoo! First women congressional representative from Georgia!

Cynthia McKinney (D-Mars) was also from Georgia.
