Two runoff elections on Jan. 5 will determine which party controls the Senate
No candidate in either of Georgia’s Senate races won a majority of the vote on Nov. 3, triggering a runoff for both seats, with the top two candidates in each race facing off. Control of the Senate now hinges on the outcome of these two races.
Perdue 48.9% Ossoff 48.2%
Georgia’s regular Senate election
Republican Sen. David Perdue is running for reelection against Democrat Jon Ossoff in a regularly scheduled election.
Georgia’s special Senate election
Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler faces Democrat Raphael Warnock in a special election. Loeffler was appointed to fill former Sen. Johnny Isakson’s seat after he resigned.
Loeffler 48.4% Warnock 48.4%
The Senate currently stands at 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats. If Democrats win both runoffs, the party will have control of the chamber because Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would break any ties. But if Republicans win one of the two races, they will maintain control. All runoff polls
FiveThirtyEight’s averages use all runoff polls conducted since the Nov. 3 general election. We adjust polls for house effects based on how much each poll differs from the polling consensus.
Hate to say it but losses in these raves will be devastating to the republic.
“Perdue 48.9% Ossoff 48.2%”
I used to set the margin of fraud at about 1.5%, but now it seems to be whatever it takes for the Dems to win. Somewhere between 0-100%, inclusive.
Have these polls been adjusted for The Dominion Midnight Dump?
The races were not nearly that close in the general. If not for the libertarian candidate, Perdue would have won easily. Loeffler’s race was split among about ten candidates. In an honest race there would be no contest. The left has thousands of people moving to GA just to vote. There will be no more fair elections until we crush the left.
I’ll bet a dollar to a doughnut that the Dems will steal these two seats same as they stole the presidential election. They’ll lie, cheat, steal same as always. And, Republicans will hide and watch, whine and cry when they loose. Nothing will change...
Unfortunately true.
W/O fraud Trump and both these GA candidates would win. If they reduce fraud and both win, it will prove Trump won as well.
Its well within the margin of fraud, which means Abrams and her “New voters” will just stuff the ballot box with how many votes they need in order to win
Given the fraud, these two seats are long gone. There were no penalties of any kind for what they did in November, and so far, they have gotten away with it. Showing up to vote cannot overcome those cheating during the vote counting.
The Georgia legislature and Georgia Courts could still do the right thing, but no positive action has taken place so far. Kemp and Waffen-burger have their payoffs and sold out the country.
If I was in Georgia, I would still vote, as I am not a quitter. But I would be pounding on my legislature reps and senators bigly.
“Hate to say it but losses in these raves will be devastating to the republic.”
Nope.
Your blithe attitude is more devastating.
I can’t believe any one is still believing any polls after 2020. Polling is DEAD.
Why would you or anyone pay attention to any polls ever again ?
Polls? What’s the point. The GOP endorsed open election fraud so they could watch Trump get scorched. Now the weapon they handed to the dems will scorch them. Free elections are a thing of the past and they are to blame as much as anyone.
Inaction by the Georgia Governor, Secretary of State, and state legislature with regard to the irregularities and fraud in the November elections is going to depress Republican turnout.
Voters want an open and transparent process and to know that only legal votes are being counted. Illegal votes by ballot stuffing, ineligible voters or other means dilutes the votes of legal voters.
Since Georgia's government and Reps seem to be ignoring them top to bottom, IMO it would behoove the populace to flood the voting centers with in-person votes in the last couple of days to retain the element of surprise. In addition flood them with observers. Bring cameras and recording devices and film surreptitiously. Challenge every flaky vote. If they are going to play their games they can throw out hundreds of Patriots at one time rather than a few. There is strength in numbers.
If they are going to pull another Cheat, at least make them sweat for it.
If the Republicans win one two seats, in the senate the Republicans have to keep Sens. Sasse, Romney, Mikulski and Collins in line, not the easiest task with a President and House of Representatives and PRESS in control. -Tom
I hope some very good Georgia people will disappear some vote drop boxes in Fulton county and others. There is only one way to defeat cheaters and that is beat them at their game.
in before the boycotters really get rolling:
boycotters are cowards. they don’t have the cajones for the fight, so they have found a way to make fighting seem to be unnecessary — even unproductive. but they are ultimately motivated by sheer moral cowardice.
yeah, I said it.
I think it’s very likely you’re going to be a dollar richer. The fix is probably in (again).
