Early vote tally foretells soaring turnout in most expensive House race ever
CNN ^ | June 17, 2017

More than 140,000 voters had cast their ballots by the time early voting in Georgia closed Friday -- another indication of sky-high turnout in the closely watched runoff for a House seat between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel. And that's leaving neither side confident of victory in what is likely to be a tight race for Georgia's 6th Congressional District seat.

More than $50 million spent in order to create a tone for 2018, for Democrats a way to attack Trump and raise money for next year.

This is such a easy victory!

If Republicans show up to vote for Handel, it will be all over for DBag Ossoff!

Foul language and wishing Trump dead are not winning strategies... large turnout favors Handel. Pelosi’s pj boy can continue his filmmaking career.

Come on Freeper Election Wizards. Pass on your wisdom.

Is a big turnout good for us or bad?
Is a big tiurnout the result of massive Dem spending?

Or ...
Is a big turnout a sign of pushback against the MSM-Dem Propaganda Campaign?

watched an interview with Bikers for Trump at the rally at CNN HQ yesterday. The bikers are all in going door to door for Handel.

Could also be because a federal judge ordered reopening of voter registration for an extra 30 days prior to this runoff in violation of Georgia law ( enough time for the Dems to get their fraudulent absentee voter registrations in ).

Big turnout is bad news for the Dems. The independent vote trends Repub and will be a 5% win.

If Republicans show up to vote for Handel....

Is she a forceful, articulate supporter of President Trump and his agenda? The best that the Republican Party could find? If not, Republicans should stay home. We have to be positive that the people we send to DC support 100% our president. The smug coup members who pretend to be Republicans need to know we're disgusted with them.

Nobody can predict elections for sure anymore because of early voting. How many people voted before Comey's testimony and before last weeks attempted assassination of DC Republicans? The vote is no longer an accurate reflection of where the hearts and minds of the electorate are on election day.

Don't like the early voting and/or absentee voting. Both have potential rigging by removing/inserting votes. Always said Repubs votes disappeared....

and in one case, think it was 20,000 Hillary votes suddenly appeared for one race which Trump eventually won. Guess they thought they had inserted enough Hillary votes to make the win.

If the Republican wins, it will be Justice.

If the Republican loses that will be MORE Justice.

This district has changed over the years. It is much younger and more liberal than it has been. Trump only carried it by a percent

Unlike Dr price Karen is not well loved She got the friend vote in the primary.

I work in the heart of this congressional district Mansell and 400 ) and all I see are Osshoff signs and bumper stickers.

The republican party in Georgia has killed the goose that laid a golden egg. Many R’s are now moving to D’s. Take a look at the election results from November and see how the most populated counties are turning blue.
