Yes, in Georgia Trump received 51.3% of the votes and Hillary got 45.6%, with the Libertarian candidate siphoning off 3.1%. It was closer than recent presidential and senatorial elections. But, again, I don’t know how much should be read into the results from the presidential election. It wasn’t the normal R vs D election because many traditionally Republican and Democrat voters crossed over to the other side. That’s one of the reasons it was a pollster’s nightmare. Virginia has already gone over to the Dark Side, and North Carolina is trending that way. But, for example, I can’t see the Democrats winning a Senate seat in Georgia for many years to come, unless the Republicans nominate a complete nitwit. Ossoff came out of the blue; nobody had ever heard of him, so he was able to define himself (fraudulently) in the quickly held “jungle primary.” Handel isn’t the strongest possible candidate; she doesn’t come off well on the campaign trail, so we have to hope that enough voters who supported other candidates will hold their noses and vote against Ossoff in the runoff election.

my guts are gonna be in a knot until the election- she didn’t strike me as all that desireable a candidate either- but then again I don’t know too much about her- maybe she is- let’s hope anyways
