Georgia Senate election odds: Republicans Perdue and Loeffler favorites to win over Democrats Ossoff and Warnock
Baltimore Sun ^ | Dec 9, 2020

Although November has come and gone, control of the U.S. Senate is still up in the air. In what are perhaps the most consequential run-off elections in modern U.S. political history, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock will try to unseat Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, and give President-Elect Joe Biden a trifecta control of the government in 2021.

Republicans already have 50 Senate seats, so winning either of the races would given them continued control. If Democrats win both, the parties will be split at 50/50, and voting ties are broken by the Vice President, who will soon be newly-elected Kamala Harris.

According to European sportsbook Betfair, which had Joe Biden as the favorite to win the November presidential election, a divided government is the most likely outcome in January. Perdue is a -250 favorite (66.2% implied probability) against Ossoff, while Loeffler is a smaller -175 favorite (58.9% implied probability) vs. Warnock. Given that math, Republicans have nearly a 40% chance of winning both Senate seats, ...

MAYBE the deep state/soros/clintoons/pedojoe and the ho/rhinos/obutthole will ALLOW Perdue and Loeffler to win so they can say, “See, there was no election fraud!”.

Or not.

There are no free elections any longer. We are a third world nation with a lot of dollars and clout (for now).

This is comedy gold. These oddsmakers need to factor in the fake ballots and Dominion machines and watch the odds reverse themselves.

Yeah. This must be how it felt in ancient Rome around the end of the first century. Still powerful, but corrupt to the gills. Any high minded ideals that they once embraced were now just empty bromides tossed out to the simpletons.

Well, just in case, there's this for Georgian patriots to keep in mind:

52 U.S. Code § 20511. Criminal penalties

(2)knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by—

(B)the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held,

We need at least one. Using the numbers from Decision Desk, Perdue should win easily.

If the thieves are smart, they’ll let them win to defuse the election fraud issue.

But, leftists are never smart, possessed of a low cunning but not smart.

Loeffler and Perdue will have the opportunity to prove their loyalty to Trump on January 3rd when the electoral college ballots are counted.

If they vote and make the margin to withhold recognition for the disputed electors, then I would say go ahead and vote for them two days later.

If they just vote but the electors are recognized anyway by a majority of Senators, then best case they will just be enablers for de facto RINO control of the Senate, so figure out your vote accordingly.

The question is whether Georgia has enough vacant jail cells to hold all the vote fraud squad.

The state gov., lt. gov., atty. gen. and sos should lead the orange jumpsuit parade.

There are probably dozens of other folks in the sos office in on the steal.

I have friends in GA who are very concerned and I told them if the Republicans show up to vote IN PERSON that will be the best defense against voter fraud. Why? Because the hardest to steal were in person votes. Now that the Dominion/CIA voting steal had been exposed they don't have the "soft steal" algorithm to depend on. Nor do they have the servers.

Besides, all eyes are going to be on the counting. NO ONE is going to be able to push Republican poll watchers out this time. So, mail-ins are gong to have to be on the up and up.

I am not worried about them winning legally. This s Georgia. I am worried about more fraud.

The voting system in Georgia is so corrupt that if Loeffler and Perdue win, it will be a sign that the RINO wing of the GOP is in on the coup against Trump. Perhaps McConnell and McCarthy have made a deal with the Democrats that if the Georgia controlled voting allows a Republican win for the two Senate seats, preserving the GOP majority in the Senate, they would stab Trump in the back by acknowledging a Biden win. In fact, the business {Wall Street and Big Pharma/Big Tech) wing of the Democrats may want a Republican Senate to put a brake on the AOC/Sanders crazies. When Republicans like Cornyn are turning on Trump like rabid dogs, it may indicate that the RINO and Democratic wings of the Uniparty have struck a deal to overthrow Trump.

These polls all suffer from one thing: A LINGERING NORMALCY BIAS!

The reality is, unless the Georgia voting system is corrected and overhauled, Democrats will ALWAYS WIN from hereon. I MEAN ALWAYS.

Even as I write this, Stacy Abrams boasts that the Dems already have amassed nearly a million mail-in ballots for this January’s runoff. Guess how many of those have already been pre-filled....Add to this the Dominion Voting machines still in place and January’s runoff results are already PRE-ORDAINED.
