It’s 50% plus one vote, not 51%.

Hey everyone, I just got here. Before we talk about the election, does anyone know what timezone Georgia is in?

I think Pacific.

Ossoff’s attrition should probably slow down a bit now that so much of Cobb County is in, but still tracking toward a 48/48.5 type finish

50 percent plus one vote, not 51 percent

[jiggyboy]

why is this so confusing to people? Can’t anyone look up simple information anymore?

Here's a text I sent to a friend from the San Francisco airport in 2015: "At SFO, guy is griping his tix have takeoff, flight time, no arrival time. Me: Oh that's easy math. Him: Yeah if you know what time zone NORTH CAROLINA IS IN!"

It’s 50.00% + 1 vote to avoid a run-off.

[kabar]

No just 50% plus one is needed, i.e., a simple majority.

[caww]

He needs to stay there or drop lower...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well, technically, 50.000000000001%

If 300,000 vote, the winner needs 150,001 to win outright.
149,999 ? It’s a run-off.

[Mears]

Lookin’ good.

Ossoff down to 50.8% with just 40% in

40% of the precincts. Probably about 65% of the actual vote.

This is going to be uncomfortably close.

Eastern. The Alabama Georgia border is where Central starts

Can confirm. I live in GA and Pacific it is.

[Kahuna]

I am not so sure that the carpetbagger will continue to nose dive under 50%. DeKalb could help him as will the ballots just now being discovered in the trunks of the rat operatives.

I lived in Arizona and worked in California, but Arizona didn’t recognize daylight savings, so in summer I lived on Pacific daylight time.

Ossoff down to 50.8% with just 40% in

Um, no. There have been about 127,000 votes counted, that is way more than 40%.
