The most competitive special Congressional election yet has arrived, and we will be providing returns live tonight right here. In addition to our district-wide totals, we will be analyzing county and precinct level returns. For the Democrats, the hope is that Jon Ossoff can pull out an outright win tonight- if he gets over 50% of the vote in this crowded field, he’s in as the district’s new Representative in Congress. If he falls short, then he will face off against one of four likely Republican opponents in a runoff on June 20th: Karen Handel, Bob Gray, Judson Hill, or Dan Moody. Polls close at 7pm and we anticipate at least early vote tallies to begin rolling in shortly thereafter. Refresh this page for the latest results tonight out of Georgia.
I believe that’s just for Cobb County.
That is just Cobb County. Notice his count is only 11,000 votes.
Watching Ossoff’s % decline is like watching a balloon deflate. At this rate, he will be below 50% in the next 30 minutes.

Every result post I’ve seen has Ossoff’s % going down .. let’s hope it gets to low 40s before the night is out
That's just the Cobb part of the district.
that’s cobb county
hes reporting cobb county results only
Sorry, but this is very misleading. You are looking at Cobb County alone; there are 2 more counties. DeKalb, primarily black voters but 67 percent in and Fulton (I believe this is Buckhead section) very little in.
That’s only one county.

I think Kentucky is also between two time zones....but Georgia is COMPLETELY in the eastern time zone...I lived there for 5 years. Our son graduated from Auburn University. The central time zone begins after you cross the Chattahoochee river into Alabama.
strange...take a look at this...

very confusing...
It’s not a long distance to Central from Atlanta if you’re going into Alabama.
That 47% figure is just Cobb.
The time zone maps I have seen don’t show that. For example, you cite the area south and west of Atlanta. Look at Columbus, GA, it is eastern daylight time just like the rest of the state and it is on the border with Alabama.
The far west end of the Florida panhandle is in Central Time, but I still believe all of Georgia is in Eastern Time.
Bill Mitchell just tweeted that he has spoken to his source in GA and expectations are that Ossoff will fall short and then lose the runoff.
Mitchell analyzes that they are counting the democrat heavy precincts first just as they did back in November.
It takes 50%+ to win.
Otherwise, the top 2 face each other in a run-off.
So, if Ossoff falls below 50%, there will be a run-off and the Pubbies might get their heads out of their butts.
Districtwide, Ossoff is at 53.19%. That's good news though, he was at 70% earlier and he's been falling all night. At this rate, he's going to finish around 42%.
