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, hes in as the districts 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 still can’t get over how many pubbies the RNC put in the race! Fuggin’ idiot! Romney’s fault!
Moody & Wilson are not RINO’s at all....
Met Wilson at the local Cigar Store (he used to be a customer) owns numerous Zaxby’s....
Well aren’t you special.....
The local PBS Station was literally breathless when reporting on her. I suspect the same is happening here.
Recall that Georgia was one of the states what had a hacking attempt around election time November 8 2016.
Recall that several newsies delayed posting/announcing Georgia results, even after 100% of precincts had reported.
No, just saying that living in a district can just as often mislead you cuz you “see lines of people” etc. Helps to have distance.
I don’t get it. How could a Newt-loving district give Trump a measly 1.5% win?
If Ossoff wins this, one victory will hyped by swamp media as an “anti-Trump tide”
What’s going on? Polls closed for 40 minutes and nothing at DD yet?
Of course, the RATs need to manufacture votes. They always do.
I had heard earlier that he does not have to reside in the district.
None support your thesis....
I hate to write it, but the press describes this district as educated and affluent and offended by Trump. So, for whatever reason, the voters gave Romney a landslide win in this district and Trump barely squeaked by. So these voters are not Trump’s assumed base of white working class voters. Of course, I think Trump’s base is a bit broader than that. Trump did win college educated voters, not by much, but he did win that group and he was not expected to do so.
It’s like an eleven way race yet Ossoff’s been flogged by the media as a walkaway winner tonight which, of course, he won’t be. So they will have to look upon his failure to garner 50% as a loss.
I will be watching tonight just to catch a little flavor of that crushed hope that I’m starting to miss.
Then I hope Trump schedules rallies all over the state.
Let’s kick this mofo’s pantied ass in the runoff!
No did they in November.
Hmm ...
Decision desk has anticipated number of votes as between 140,000 to 165,000.
Clarity elections has registered voters in the district as 130,304.
Anyone care to comment on the apparent discrepancy??
Gray actually pulled ahead in last minute polling...
Handel is a RINO tool...
That’s only cobb county. Clarity is for Cobb only portion of district.
Actually, I think the 6th CD in Georgia is in the central time zone....so it is only 7:45 CST right now. Think we have another fifteen minutes before the polls close!!! We should get early voting results fairly quickly after that. Figure first reporting votes around 8:15 CST.
Make that “nor”
